Announced on Narratively, @Narratively is sponsoring @Launchfest, a “fun conference for serious entrepreneurs” in New Orleans, April 24-29, 2010.

What’s Launchfest?

Launch Fest will feature three afternoons of conference programming and four evenings of fun networking events. The three days of programming kick-off with a social entrepreneurship day, followed by Startup Straight-Talk with local entrepreneurs, and Advantage Capital’s “Thursday Funday” featuring 5 minute pitches by local start-ups to national VC’s & local investors.

Launchfest will be held at Launch Pad, April 24-29 (between the two weekends of Jazz Fest, btw). Tickets are free, but space is limited. Registration starts at noon CST on Tuesday 4/20 at http://launchfest.net

Launchfest features a great mix of local and national speakers with a range of experiences in creating and leading companies and non-profits, and I’m excited about helping make Launchfest an inspiring, productive, educational and fun event.
