We've kept what has been so successful in the past and added some enhancements including a business resource area and programs for established entrepreneurs that we hope will continue well into the future. Expo attendees may choose three of nine informative, interactive presentations on popular business topics including e-commerce, contracts, negotiations, procurement, teambuilding, strategic planning and working with the media. They can also visit the business resource area where nonprofit organizations and government agencies that assist entrepreneurs will be represented. Expo participants can also meet procurement contacts from area companies in the Crystal Ballroom after lunch. Over 100 exhibitors and sponsors will showcase their products and services at the Expo.
Online registration is encouraged but a printed information piece is also available.
Luncheon seating in the Crystal Ballroom is limited to the first 300 paid registrants. An additional 85 seats are available in the balcony. Hattie Bryant, creator of the television show SB 2000, will be the keynote speaker at the Expo luncheon. Her weekly business program is broadcast by more than 160 public television stations into over 80 million U.S. households. This is just one of the many programs that Hattie delivers as a professional speaker.
