#EntreFest Day 1 for Small Businesses & Entrepreneurs

by Steve Schultz on March 6, 2009

After spending all of Thursday at the Coralville, IA Marriot for EntreFest I was littleweblogoexhausted and didn’t have time to get a second blog post in about the actual conference.  There were plenty of great speakers and topics covered.  I didn’t get a chance to hear many of them because I was recording/streaming live a few of the presentations with the createWOWmedia team.

Anyone local to Iowa that didn’t get a chance to come let me show you why you should next year.  The following topics were covered:

  • A Firm Foundation by Rob Kubat
  • Speak to Me: Marketing to the Generations by Mandy Kolesik
  • Search Engine Optimization – The Basics by Doug Mitchell (createWOWmedia)
  • Outrageous Financing! by Lisa Shimkat
  • Making Connections by Bruce Nuzum
  • The Bottom Line by H. Dawson, J. McCarragher, and J. Wagner
  • Practical Solutions for Controlling Healthcare Costs by Leisa Fox
  • Bolster Your Business Through Online Sales by Dan Bellrichard
  • How to Do Market Research by Tricia Janes
  • Who’s on Your Bus? by Lori Day & Kristen Monroe
  • Creating the Opportunity to Make a Sale by Curt Nelson
  • Social Media Marketing – New Name.  Same Stuff. by Doug Mitchell

We also had the pleasure of hearing from Rhonda Abrams for the Keynote presentation, Surprise! Why Now’s a Great Time to be an Entrepreneur, which you can watch here.  Go ahead and check out the EntreFest website and watch some of the recorded presentations, read the blog posts, and check out the tweets, #EntreFest.
