MIT Enterprise Forum of Atlanta will host “Entrepreneurs Uncensored!” a live, tell-all panel discussion, on Wednesday, May 11 at 11:30 a.m. EST. The two “uncensored entrepreneurs” will share hard-earned business wisdom and tips that today’s entrepreneurs can apply to accelerate their own ventures.

Charles Paparelli, President and Founder of Paparelli Ventures, a pre-formation investment company focused on entrepreneurs in the Atlanta technology market, will moderate the panel:
• Sanjay Bhatia is the Founder and President of Izenda, the leading provider of self-service reporting platforms for business users. Izenda recently announced that fiscal year 2010 revenue increased by more than 40% from the previous year, and that profits increased by over 130%. This is on top of a 47% growth in revenue for the previous year.
• Andy Ibbotson serves as President and CEO of Digital Assent LLC, a fast growing healthcare technology company based in Atlanta. The Technology Association of Georgia recently named Digital Assent one of the “Top 40 Innovative Companies in Georgia for 2011.” Prior to Digital Assent, Mr. Ibbotson served as President and CEO of Synthis Corporation.

“For both business veterans seeking new ideas and aspiring entrepreneurs looking to get started, this is a must attend event,” said Virginia Persons, chair of MIT Enterprise Forum of Atlanta. “We sponsored a similar event in December just for our members. It was so popular and so well-praised, we decided to sponsor another and invite the Atlanta business community.”

The live event will be held at GSU’s Buckhead Center at Tower Place on Wednesday, May 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information or to register for the event, visit http://www.mitforumatlanta.org/.
