Learn. Share. Grow. Experience something different in a conference...
... join a unique group of thought leaders and entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurial Connections (EntConnect) |
At EntConnect, you'll have a great opportunity to meet people who run their own companies. You will learn and share personal successes. Just as important, you'll learn about other's failures and how to avoid them.
You will connect with new customers, suppliers, partners, mentors, and friends -- many who share your challenges and dreams.
Maybe you own your own company... or hope to one day. Previous attendees always rave about the value of learning from each other. You'll make networking contacts whose expertise you can draw on throughout the year.

Need a single word to describe EntConnect? Serendipity. You'll discover something you're not expecting. Why? |
Because EntConnect is unique -- it's not a giant, formal, white-washed conference with two dozen talking heads. It builds on a rich history and a focus that has been honed since 1992. You will enjoy a unique "unconference" and "open conference" experience. You help set the agenda. You help pick the topics that interest you and you will even have an opportunity to present a topic, if you like. We always leave room in the schedule for impromptu discussions inspired by the audience members.
The conference runs from Friday evening until Sunday early afternoon. There is great a mixture of:
- Formal sessions -- speakers share ideas and spark discussion
- Informal/open sessions -- a chance for you to network with new friends and share ideas in small groups
- After hours events -- both informative and fun; some held at the hotel bar and some in the meeting room
- Relaxing encounters -- structured, optional events that provide fun and chill time
Part of the fun of EntConnect is building the agenda around the attendee's needs. Here is an outline of the 2010 agenda which gives you an idea of how the conference is typically structured:
