Second Annual Conference

2007-06-21T03:36:05-07:00

The Second Annual Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference will highlight the ever growing proliferation of Arizona entrepreneurial successes.

There will be plenty of inspiration and information for Arizona entrepreneurs at the Second Annual Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference, to be held at the Phoenix Airport Marriott Hotel, 1101 N. 44th Street, on November 8th from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

Two Arizona tech companies who recently achieved liquidity events will be presenting: Limelight Networks completed its Initial Public Offering in June 2007 and in the same month Zenter, an online presentation software tool, was acquired by Google.

The conference will feature these two companies as well as Pat Sullivan's new venture, Jigsaw Health, a social venture devoted to helping people figure out how to handle their chronic health problems.

And that is just a small sample of the day-long series of panels, workshops, speakers, and networking opportunities that will highlight new national trends that impact Arizona, such as environmental technology and Real Estate 2.0 (the use of social media in real estate) as well as funding sources, new marketing strategies, and human resource issues. By popular demand, there will also be more women entrepreneur presentors.

The registration website will be live here as of July 15th. The cost of the conference is $125, which includes lunch and a continental breakfast. Early-bird registration is $99.

The Second Annual Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference will be limited to 500 attendees, including panelists, media and speakers.

"We would rather have a smaller audience that can really make connections and benefit from what we do than a room full of people who are merely curious," says Francine Hardaway, CEO of Stealthmode Partners and primary conference organizer. "We are trying to create a more efficient ecosystem for Arizona entrepreneurs, and we will make sure the people who come receive the value they deserve for giving us their time."

The Second Annual Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference benefits the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation, which trains underserved and at-risk populations in entrepreneurship skills for self-sufficiency.

So be sure to check back here on July 15th, 2007 for early registration at a discounted rate!
