Transforming your great idea from dream to reality is often the biggest
hurdle in running a successful business. Some of the best business advice on how
to launch a new business, or take ownership of an existing one, comes from
entrepreneurs who have already gone through the process themselves. At the
Entrepreneur's Summit, you'll spend time networking with successful
entrepreneurs after you listen to their success stories. You will also be able
to meet and talk with people from key industries such as: finance, law,
marketing, accounting, insurance, investments and business resources - all on
hand to help emerging businesses get off the ground, and to keep them growing.
