The Global Entrepreneurship Week: Business Kickoff Event will offer aspiring entrepreneurs free information, resources, support, and inspiration needed to successfully start a business. Participants will receive a specialized form that will assist in organizing the information available at this event. This form will keep track of who they’ve spoken to, services that are useful to them specifically, and how to get in contact with those resources at a future date.
After an hour or so of informational browsing, there will be a brief speech offered by a local entrepreneur sharing some of the hardships and successes they’ve experienced while starting and developing their business.
After that will be additional time to gather information, and finishing the evening off with a free drawing for a prize basket.
