The event is April 22-24, 2016 at the South Engineering Research Center building on The University of Alabama campus and is open to anyone in Alabama who wants to pitch ideas for a new product or service. The event starts Friday evening with open-mic pitches where a panel of leaders and entrepreneurs will select the top ideas, then the individuals will have the opportunity wo build their ideas and form teams from other participants in the workshop. Sunday evening the teams present their business prototype to a panel of judges who decide the winners. The prizes for the winners are items that help the business move forward.
