The Self-Employment Expo in Chicago brought together many small business owners with a number of soon-to-be entrepreneurs at the Oaklawn Hilton. Rolling out participated as a media partner to showcase the information-packed seminars, the exhilarating business challenge for the best three-minute business pitch ($500 winner pictured here) and highlight the expo area. Here are five reasons you should attend next year’s event. –randy fling
-
Positive Energy: People who attended this event are people who are making things happen and that much was obvious. Though it was a rainy day outside and much cooler than the previous day, you would never have known based on how everyone handled their business in a professional, friendly and upbeat manner.
-
Information: The seminars were extremely informative and gave prospective business owners a much broader insight into what it really means to be involved in a specific business and it’s challenges and rewards.
-
Networking: The great advantage is that there was such a diverse array of businesses represented. This type of event is much better than an “industry expo” where everyone is in the same industry, all having the same conversation and working to copy whoever the industry leader is. If you’re inquisitive and a critical thinker, you were able to grasp a wide swath of knowledge about multiple industries and opportunities.
-
Prizes: Participants got the opportunity to compete for prizes and win up to $500 in cash.
-
Price. The Expo and all the seminars were completely free to attend.
