Fourth Annual Entrepreneurs in Motion Conference: Think Big, Grow Bigger!
The Lee’s Summit Chamber of Commerce is highlighting the spirit of entrepreneurship by hosting the Fourth Annual Entrepreneurs in Motion (EIM) Conference on Tuesday, November 16, 2010. The EIM Conference is a partnership with Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) which boasts nearly 58,000 events throughout the world, involving nearly 11 million people. The EIM Conference is part of the Kansas City GEW network involving public and private entities that provide services, support and champion small and entrepreneurial business. The EIM Conference will host business professionals, experts, practitioners and elected officials who will come together to provide presentations on current trends and business topics, in-depth panel discussions, a business showcase, breakfast keynote with a high-level, successful entrepreneur and a closing network reception. This year’s keynote speaker is Elizabeth Demas. After losing her job with Sprint, she decided to put her MBA to real use and start her own business. Five years ago she opened a Licensed Avon Beauty Center. In that short time, her store has risen to become the number two store in the nation. Demas attributes her success to documenting, and then improving upon, the processes necessary to run and grow her business. Workshop topics include; Expand Your Circle of Influence, Surviving in a Sluggish Economy: Key Bankruptcy Considerations for a Small Business, Protect Your Brand in the Age of Social Media, Maximize Your Presence Through Search Engine Marketing, What’s Keeping Your Business from Reaching its Potential? and Maximizing Sales: Prospecting.
