Baton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week, which typically kicks off in November, is being pushed back to Jan. 19-21, NexusLA announced today.
Furthermore, the three-day series, which will mark BREW’s 10th annual event, is expected to be presented in a hybrid virtual and in-person format to accommodate a variety of experiences for attendees in accordance with current federal and local guidelines amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We wanted to see if it would be feasible to do something in person, so pushing BREW back to January gives us more time to plan the logistics for doing a hybrid model,” says Wendy Overton, NexusLA director of strategy and development. “It also allows us to take a forward-looking approach to the event—people will be thinking about the upcoming year, so it will be a fun way of celebrating the passing of 2020.”
Otherwise, BREW 10 will follow a similar format to last year’s event, with various keynote presentations, panel discussions and networking opportunities planned. Like previous years, the upcoming BREW will also conclude with a pitch competition among three Louisiana-based startups.
More details—such as keynote speakers and panelists, panel topics and ticket availability—will be announced in the coming weeks.
