Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) is the world’s largest collection of events, competitions, and activities in +170 countries, reaching millions of people of all ages and backgrounds. The only way it could get any bigger is to bring more TEXAS to it! Texas is a country, isn’t it?

This year, we expect hybrid options to be the norm across the entire state of Texas to continue to reach even MORE entrepreneurs in MORE Texas cities working on solving all kinds of problems. That’s where YOU come in. We need your help to make sure that Texas represents and engages the ENTIRE state.

Step up and become a Community Organizer

As a Community Organizer, you have the opportunity to organize and manage any kind of programming that is relevant to your community — keynotes, panels, hack-a-thons, startup showcases, or something new. It’s a great opportunity to show off your startup community and get the message out to new people who might not have been exposed to entrepreneurship before.

If you’d like to be a part of the “GEW Crew”, apply here to represent your city or county.
