Non-Traditional Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs can be found in unexpected places! This panel will discuss how individuals with different and sometimes non-traditional businesses have grown into thriving entrepreneurs.

Social Media Entrepreneurs

Social media is ever where today! This dynamic panel will show you how you can harness social media to create opportunites to brand and grow your business. This was our most highly attended session last year!

Finance and Marketing Entrepreneurs

Starting a business takes money and the ability to gain the attention of customers. This panel will show you how to create strong business marketing and finance plans and will share stories of their successes.

Each panelist offers a little something for everyone. Remember registration is a must and can be done at https://www.ncie.org./ Hope to see you there.
