Pioneer Nation 2015 Student Scholarship
What is Pioneer Nation?
Pioneer Nation is a three-day strategy session for budding entrepreneurs, small business owners, and freelancers of all kinds who embrace the D.I.Y. work revolution. It’s for people who want to make a good living doing something they love, pursuing freedom and independence as their own boss. The 3-day intensive experience takes place at the base of Mount Hood, just outside Portland, Oregon from October 1-3, 2015.
We live in an age of independence. Never before have so many people created their own work and forged their own destinies. Whether through entrepreneurship or some kind of small business, the world is changing as people embrace creative, independent work. The opportunities are endless.
The weekend consists of keynote speakers, workshops, coaching, and networking. Learn more at: pioneer2015.eventbrite.com
Pioneer Nation was founded by Chris Guillebeau, explorer of the world and New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup, who also founded the World Domination Summit.
