GEW Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct

Global Entrepreneurship Week is celebrated worldwide with tens of thousands of events, activities and competitions each November that inspire millions to explore their potential as an entrepreneur while fostering connections and increasing collaboration within their ecosystems. Powered by the Kauffman Foundation, Global Entrepreneurship Week has expanded to 170+ nations since its launch in 2008.

KCSourceLink, a program of the UMKC Innovation Center, is working with the KC community to organize multiple GEW-related events Nov. 14-20 in and around the Kansas City metro, and is committed to a positive, harassment-free experience for all participants. View the UMKC policy on Equal Employment/Educational Opportunity.
