Today I'm driving from home in Vermont to the Endicott House in Dedham, Massachusetts, an off campus retreat center owned by MIT. This is my third year of the Entrepreneur's Organization / MIT Entrepreneurial Masters Program (formerly known as Birthing of Giants, when the program was also affiliated with Inc. Magazine).

I'll be spending three days in intensive learning sessions led by business leaders, successful entrepreneurs, and MIT faculty. My class of 60 fellow EO Members are entrepreneurs from around the world, including countries such as Australia, South Africa, Switzerland, India, and the U.K. The diverse group of students provides an amazing global view that is difficult to find elsewhere.

Speakers this year include Cameron Herold (BackpocketCOO and formerly 1-800-GOT-JUNK), Omar Khan (author of Liberating Passion), Jack Stack (SRC President and author of A Stake in the Outcome), Mark Eaton (NBA star), and Eran Egozy (CEO of Harmonix, creator of Guitar Hero and Rock Band).

The program begins this evening and ends Saturday afternoon, making for three packed days of learning. I'm excited to get to MIT, knowing that I'll come back to work refreshed and full of ideas to innovate my business model, improve my management, and inspired to grow my business even during this challenging economic environment.

Look for blog posts and Twitter updates (@ianwyatt) from MIT.
