It's time to inspire your passion...The Ohio Growth Summit is coming May 24.
If you have followed this blog over the years or even the past month or so you have seen references to this event. The Ohio Growth Summit is an event that I founded in 2005 to provide you with new and exciting ways to start or grow businesses. Since the first Summit hundreds of small business owners and others have used this event as the launching pad for their business. Whether you are looking to make your idea a reality or take your business to a new level of success the Ohio Growth Summit is “your” event. It is a celebration of your entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to making your dream a reality.
OK I know what you are thinking, "I've attended the Summit in the past and it was the greatest experience of my life. What incredible things do you have planned this year?". Well as in the past you can expect the highest quality speakers and content that you will find anywhere. No need to travel to New York or Los Angeles to hear cutting edge speakers and content because we have it all right here in Columbus.
I have traveled the country to audition potential keynote speakers (actually I watched their YouTube videos). Given that I am excited to announce that the 2012 Keynotes will be Paul Evans and Gini Dietrich.
Paul Evans: Do you know Paul Evans? If not you should. I met Paul last fall at Carrie Wilkerson's B.O.S.S 2012 event in Dallas. Carrie had told me he was a great speaker but honestly that doesn't do him justice. He is a very knowledgeable business coach, an "incredible" speaker/presenter, a man of great faith, he has a child attending the University of Alabama (that right there is good enough for me) plus he is a runner. I got to know Paul not only at the event but on an early morning run. (you really get to know someone between mile four and five.) Paul will share his business experiences and help you understand what it takes to reach the level of success you want for your business and yourself. To really get a sense for Paul check out his YouTube channel, Paul Evans Live
(if you need someone to translate southern for you let me know, I can help).
Gini Dietrich: Gini is the founder and chief executive officer of Arment Dietrich, Inc. and a driving force behind what may be the greatest blog in existance, Spin Sucks. Gini is not only an expert on building business activity through the use of social media and marketing and a sought after speaker, she is also a battle tested entrepreneur. Her experiences in starting Arment Dietrich, Inc. and what she deals with as a CEO is what separates her from the pack of experts into the realm of total awesomeness. She brings really great stuff will help entrepreneurs grow business and run the day to day of business.
As incredible as the keynote presenters are there is much more for you. The Ohio Growth Summit will be presenting four concurrent, themed workshops to allow you to focus in on what will make you the most successful. Each of these workshops will focus on specific outcomes for your business. They will feature top speakers, presenters and practitioners in the field to help you succeed.
