SPEAKER SERIES
“Building a New Company While Building a New Industry”
Eric Anderson, Co-Founder and CEO, Space Adventures
in a live onstage interview by Miles O’Brien, Anchor/Correspondent, CNN

The International Association of Space Entrepreneurs (IASE) proudly announces the launch of its 2004 Speaker Series with two very special guests: Eric Anderson of Space Adventures will discuss the challenges of launching a new business venture while also creating a new industry for market consumption; Miles O’Brien of CNN will conduct the live onstage interview.

All entrepreneurs must overcome a number of challenging hurdles in order to succeed. However, the prospects become exponentially more complicated when entrepreneurs also have to simultaneously create a whole new industry. Mr. Anderson will address these issues from his personal experience in space tourism, along with some insights for entrepreneurs in other industries such as bioinformatics and nanotechnology.

Please join us for an educational and entertaining discussion!

IASE is a membership trade association specifically focused on the particular needs of entrepreneurs whose business ventures have a connection to the space industry.
