YES Entrepreneurship Conference Coming Up

You might be interested in an upcoming event that I have been involved with. I sit on the Board of Directors for Youth Employment Services (YES Montreal) and I have the honor of being the Co-Chairman for this year’s 8th Annual Entrepreneurship Conference.
Whether you are an Entrepreneur, business owner or would like a day of great networking, I would greatly encourage you to join me on Saturday, March 12th, 2005 at the Delta Centre-Ville Hotel. It is a full-day event starting at 8:45 and ending with a Networking Cocktail/Reception at around 5:30 pm. I’ll even be co-presenting in the morning with Robert Gervais of Pre2Post. We’ll be doing a Networking session called, “It’s Not Work, It’s Network!” – a tag I lifted from Jeffrey Gitomer.
The day features a lunch/keynote address by Herschel Segal, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Le Chateau along with an amazing panel discussion moderated by CJAD‘s Ric Peterson, individual workshops on sales, marketing, financing and much more.
Speakers from the following organizations will be on hand to present and network:
– Aldo
– AskMen.com
– BDC
– Concordia University
– comScore Media Metrix
– Dale Carnegie
– Felix & Norton’s
– Java U
– Mad Science
– McGill University
– RBC Royal Bank
… and many more.
Each year the event sells out and I would encourage you to sign up and pass this Blog posting along to anyone you know who is thinking about starting their own business, owns their own business or would like to spend the day learning and growing their skills.
