Bank of Ireland, Talent Jam, and the WNC Kauffman Entrepreneur In Residence Program

About Talent Jam:

Started by the Kauffman Foundation’s Entrepreneur-In-Residence program in Asheville NC, Talent Jam is now an international event designed to connect talented individuals with top quality businesses who are in search of people with the skills and talents they need. Companies looking for talent and people that have talent each deliver alternating 60 second pitches. You can register to pitch yourself and your skills, or pitch your company. Pitches are followed by a casual (and really fun) reception, drinks, and networking.
