Start by getting involved.
The best way to get involved is to join CED. Then, take advantage of your CED membership by connecting with the network.
Entrepreneurial Companies
Connect as a host of free events for members, participate in CED’s mentorship program, and member-only receptions and workshops. Check our Calendar of Events frequently to search for topics of interest by date, topic, and industry vertical. Plus, contact CED staff for an individual consultation.
Professional Service Partners
Connect with our larger community by showcasing your expertise in a Member Profile or Guest Column, listing your contact information in our Service Partner Directory, sponsoring a program or conference, and volunteering for a committee or workshop.
Investors
Connect with up-and-coming entrepreneurs by attending the CED Biotech/Life Science conference and the CED Venture Conference, volunteering to speak at an upcoming Direct Connections program or participating in a STREAK showcase to evaluate companies preparing for funding.
Individuals and Students
Connect with the entrepreneurial community by taking advantage of discounted rates for students, volunteer opportunities, and showcases of emerging technologies.
Mentor Partners
For memberships greater than $5,000 annually, companies are encouraged to speak to Miriam Wilson about added benefits including corporate exposure at CED programs and events.
