On Tuesday, Oct. 29, Women's Network for Entrepreneurial Training (WNET) and SUNY Oswego's Office of Business and Community Relations (OBCR) will gather women from across New York State for Connections, a day-long conference to be held at River Vista Center in Fulton from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"This day-long symposium is something you won't want to miss," said an organizer for the event. "The theme for this year's event is 'Connect – Pursue – Advance' and will feature several dynamic speakers, networking opportunities, continental breakfast, lunch, a dessert reception and a women's marketplace."
The keynote speaker, Laura Ponticello, founder of Laura's List: Books for Women, works with celebrity authors, national speakers, and authors to help them propel to the next level. Ponticello will present "5 Secrets to Build a Buzz Around Your Business or Organization."
Again this year, headshots will be offered by Dayger Photography, with no sitting fee. Hair and make-up touch-ups will also be available.
New this year, we are featuring Bee-Hive Networking. There are no elevator speeches, no selling, and no fears or discomforts. Each attendee could walk away with an average of 12-20 cards of QUALIFIED prospects who want to meet them. Come "catch the buzz" at the Bee-Hive Networking Game. Please be sure to come armed with 100 business cards.
Major sponsors to date include NBT Bank, SUNY Oswego Phoenix Center and Operation Oswego County.
Early-bird tickets are $55, now through Sept. 30, and are available through the Tyler Hall Box Office, tickets.oswego.edu.
