The featured guests for this month's event will be Craig Hickman and GoPicnic. Craig Hickman is the author of more than a dozen books, among them such national and international bestsellers as The Oz Principle, The Strategy Game, Mind of Manager, Soul of a Leader, and Creating Excellence. He will be signing copies of his newest book, The Insiders, a tech-savvy suspense novel. GoPicnic is the leader in creating custom, ready to eat meal solutions for the travel and event industries. GoPicnic's founders developed the concept of the shelf-stable picnic meal in 2004 for a major US airline whose existing buy-on-board fresh food service program was costing it millions of dollars annually due to high levels of waste from unused meals as well as incremental pCEC Logoersonnel expenses stemming from the need for in-flight food preparation. Recognizing the many benefits such shelf-stable "picnic" meal programs could bring to a wide array of other industries, the GoPicnic founders expanded on the original concept, making nutritious high-quality shelf-stable meal solutions available to new markets and clients. Connectiviity brings together the entrepreneurship community both within IIT and the greater Chicagoland area and provides the opportunity to network and share experiences with fellow entrepreneurs. Whether you are currently an entrepreneur or are considering starting a business, this event can help you make the connections you need to get your new venture started or grow your existing business. Come explore what the Knapp Center, University Technology Park, Wexford and IIT have to offer!
