Quick-Start Shoreline Working Session: Connecting to Your Industry Group: Why and How Part II

Due to the excitement generated and the interesting discussions that occurred in our last session because of the international delegation, we decided to add a part II to this introductory session of the Connect Series. This will help set you up to learn how to get the most value out of your trade show experience as a business owner.

In this Quick Start Working Session entrepreneurs and experts will gain insights into attending, speaking, sponsoring, and even starting your own industry trade event - and why. Entrepreneurs and emerging leaders will gain tools to successfully:

1. Fast track your traction in an industry by selecting the right trade event
2. Become an industry expert by speaking, keynoting, or participating in local, national and global conferences
3. Build lasting relationships and engage with new customers with proven 3-Step process
4. Forge new partnerships through strategic sponsorship of the right industry events
5. Go big or go home! Learn how to create your own industry event.

Goal of the Quick-Start Working Sessions
To provide our SCC Business Accelerator Community with access to leading experts and cutting edge business tools that can close the GAP in idea-to-expansion knowledge. These workshops will give start-ups, teams and students a chance to learn practical knowledge, as well as provide hands-on training, and networking opportunities with professionals in various branches of business.

Format of the Quick-Start Working Sessions
Each working session will focus on a single topic with Quick-Start staff and area experts providing key insights and knowledge regarding the topic in a 20 minute lecture format. After the lecture, the attendees will break into working sessions to engage with the topic as it relates to them. We will invite Quick-Start mentors and local entrepreneurs as a resource to the attendees to help answer any questions and think through any problems they may be facing.

Networking will begin at noon.
Lecture will begin at 12:15pm.
The working sessions will be open from 12:35pm to 1:30pm.
