Startup America is coming to Atlanta. 

On Wednesday May 2 from 1:00pm – 4:30pm at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center in Technology Square senior White House officials are hosting a forum. The objective of the forum is to meet with entrepreneurs and hear directly from them on ideas and suggestions for reducing barriers and improving regulations to build a more supportive environment for entrepreneurship and innovation. In short they want to learn how to encourage business growth. 

Officials attending the event include Deputy Administrator of the US Small Business Administration Marie Johns, Associate Administrator of Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Michael Fitzpatrick, Deputy Director of the US Patent and Trademark Office Teresa Rae, Senior Economist at the Council of Economic Advisors Ronnie Chatterji.
