Get excited for the 10th Annual Carole Moore McLeod Entrepreneur Summit
coming up on November 9, 2012!

More than 50 business owners from around the United States will be participating. Speakers and participants will have the ability to interact, challenge each other, and learn about trends in entrepreneurship when attending this event. Speakers are given the stage to talk about their experiences as a business owner, be it starting a business, growing the business, and failing or selling the business. Many speak on what field of business they are in, the challenges they've faced, how they’ve kept going through tough economic times, adapted to changes in technology, and plans for success and growth in the future. Most all topics relevant to owning, operating, and selling a business will be covered, and just about every genre of business will be too!
