甘斯維爾台商會主辦、亞城IBM退休聯誼會（IBM Quarter Century Club)，亞城世華工商婦女會及玉山科技協辦。邀請三位主講者，會議以線上與實體同步進行，約80人參加。
Indra Sofian分享創辦Sora Schools過程與收穫。從喬治亞理工學院大學宿舍的白板草案起，短短兩年成為盈利百萬公司。 他為夢想執行家，有感於目前高中教育不足，結合自己對製作短片的經驗與熱愛，與同學二人共同建立公司。雖遇瓶頸挫折，憑藉執著滿足客戶需求，不斷改進，終成規模。
Meade Sutterfield 以參與新創公司及多年顧問的經歷，說明如何創業。他強調大部分的創業若沒有堅持，數年後會被取代：例如臉書超越友你友我（Myspace） 。他説投資方雖重要，但非成業關鍵，創業家堅持初衷，不斷革新改進才是成功之道。
亞特蘭大台北經文辦事處經濟組組長陳新發介紹台灣各類新創產業，已在國際間高居全球前十。政府開發創業園區並多方輔助新創公司，例如林口園區除了辦公室外，附帶周邊設施及宿舍。陳組長提到就業金卡的推出，為歡迎國際人士到台灣投資。
