The 13th annual Okoboji Entrepreneurial Institute will be held Aug. 5-10, 2018.

A schedule will be announced at a later date as details are made available.

Every summer, OEI brings 32 college students to the picturesque Iowa Great Lakes region every for a week of entrepreneurial skill building and networking. Students from Buena Vista University, Iowa Lakes Community College, Iowa State University, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa are represented.

Though known for an unmatched environment of fun (hey, this is Okoboji after all), these students emerge equipped with knowledge and connections they can take back to their communities and their startups. Although the event is held in northwest Iowa, its impact reaches across the entire state.
