McGuire Center Faculty, Alumni at TENWEST and IdeaFunding

Oct. 3, 2016

The McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship is a sponsor for IdeaFunding, which has been bringing together Arizona’s entrepreneurial community for 20 years to promote the growth of innovative companies, and the skilled jobs and economic growth they bring to our city, state and region. This year, IdeaFunding is part of TENWEST, a dynamic, week-long, festival focused on the arts, technology, communities and entrepreneurship. 

TENWEST is Oct. 21-28 in Downtown Tucson. IdeaFunding 2016 will take place Thursday, Oct. 27. For tickets and more information, visit tenwest.com.
