🦈The Shark Tank "Sharks" are Coming!
Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024 at 3:30 PM - Carole and Barry Kaye Auditorium
Daymond John, Robert Herjavec, and Kevin O’Leary, aka Mr. Wonderful, right here at Florida Atlantic!
The Sharks will share stories never told, then they’re going to switch tanks and enter the “Croc Tank!” As part of Noble Capital Markets’ annual NobleCon conference – that Florida Atlantic also hosted last year with keynote President George W. Bush – the featured event is a LIVE pitch-off with all the drama and intrigue of the ABC hit series. And yes, if they like what they see, they will personally invest! Here’s the best part… the pitches will come from the winning contestants of an Adam’s Center for Entrepreneurship competition – all from our Florida Atlantic ecosystem!
Meet the Sharks and cheer on the Owlers when they hit the stage!
Discounted tickets for faculty and staff are now available for purchase. This one-of-a-kind event will sell out. Go to FAUevents.com NOW and be part of it. December 4, 2024, 3:30 pm (doors open at 2:30pm) at the Kaye Performing Arts Auditorium.
