Building on Best Practices

Model your program after industry best practices at NBIA's 23rd International Conference on Business Incubation. As suggested by our theme - Building on Best Practices - you'll learn about first-class programs and innovative strategies developed by the top incubators in the world. The conference will explore how you can use these industry standards to enhance your program's success and provide exceptional entrepreneur support. The conference will be held in Kansas City, Mo. - named in 2008 as one of the "Best Cities for Innovation" by Fast Company magazine. The city received this distinction for spending $9 billion to refurbish its downtown and for being home to more than 120 bioscience firms. What better place to learn best practices than in a city noted for innovation?

The conference hotel, the Westin Crown Center, is located in the Crown Center complex - one of the first mixed-use redevelopment projects in the United States. The complex features Hallmark's headquarters, as well as the stores and restaurants of the Crown Center Shops. Join NBIA in Kansas City to learn about implementing best practices in your program, meet industry colleagues and explore all the city has to offer.
