- San Francisco, CA (1888PressRelease) March 07, 2013 - The BizWorld Foundation announces it will hold a Camp BizWorld event this March 13 and 14 at Informatica Headquarters in Redwood City.

Working in teams, students assume the various roles required of a business as they design, manufacture, market and sell their products at the BizWorld Sales Bazaar, all the while receiving positive encouragement and guidance from employee participants.
The event offers opportunities for Informatica employees to volunteer their time and intellectual capital, mentoring student companies and assuming different roles within the program's implementation.
