There's still time in 2013 for a couple more business education and networking opportunities.
The week before Christmas often means business action, other than retail sales, goes into hibernation until the new year.
However, there are two events — an introduction to Angel investingand the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce's final Business After Hoursgathering — scheduled Thursday evening.
• The Mayo Clinic Business Acceleratoris hosting the free Angel investing seminar at the accelerator offices on the skyway level of the city-owned Minnesota BioBusiness Centerin downtown Rochester.
David Russick, managing director of the Minneapolis-based investment group Gopher Angelswill speak at 7 p.m. after a round of networking that begins at 6:30 p.m. Russick's presentation will discuss angel investing, the Minnesota angel credit and local investment opportunities. A question-and-answer session followed by more networking is scheduled to end the evening from 7:45 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
