REDe Entrepreneurship Summit is an annual speaker event the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) launched since 2018. Our goal for the REDe Summit is to inspire students with varied academic backgrounds, such as in the arts, engineering, pharmacy, or business, to engage in entrepreneurship.This summit is created to encourage, celebrate, and enhance entrepreneurial endeavors among Ole Miss students across campus, with a different focus each year.

The speaker this year is William Ault, Co-founder of Curtsy. William Ault is a University of Mississippi alumni and former CIE student. William helped develop Curtsy, a social media app that allows you to browse, buy, rent and sell dresses to people in your city for a fraction of the retail price. Since its founding, Curtsy has been downloaded over one million times and has made a projected 11 million dollars.
