New businesses, established businesses: you can’t beat it; you must join it. Social Media has fast become a way of life and the new way of doing business. Businesses are still experimenting with the best practices regarding social media for brand control and marketing. Corporations are worried about security issues. Opportunities abound to create social media businesses in different verticals. How do you fit in? Come to Entrepreneur’s Base Camp to find out!
Attending Entrepreneurs Base Camp will help you to generate the ideas, strengthen your business plan, and build an in-person network that will bring you success. Whether you are Startup Founder, Early Stage CEO, in Marketing, Sales or Management – or aspire to one of these– be sure to hold this day aside on your calendar and to register early!
Two sessions will be running at any given time. Learn about the entrepreneurial opportunities available using Social Media platforms, or fine tune your social media strategies employing the best practices tips provided by our experts. See the entire schedule and list of presenters!
Presenters will be announced soon! See the entire schedule here.
Visit the Exhibitor Hall. Increase your network of vendors and advisers. We may be talking “Social Media” but it’s still nice to meet in person with someone you may consider doing business with! Meet with people who can provide you with printing services, marketing services, advise you on how to grow your business, improve your network, etc. Use our "passport" to visit all the booths and you'll qualify for our grand prize drawing at the end of the day!
Feed your mind. Lunchtime will feature our "Roundtable" event again this year. A smaller version of our premier spring event "The Power Roundtable," if you register for Base Camp early, you can choose where you'd like to sit for lunch and what you'd like to learn. Topics from protecting your ideas, to financial planning to maximizing your marketing. Registrants will be asked to start selecting their tables on September 4.
