Spring Into Success

Innovative Approaches to Success

May 5 & 6, 2011 | Hotel Arts, Calgary


If you have been hibernating through our long prairie winter, spring is the perfect time to get out and reconnect with the world.  To kick off this new season, we are very excited to bring together an amazing group of savvy entrepreneurs to share their stories of success and lessons learned on May 5 & 6 at our annual entrepreneurial connection conference - Innovative Approaches to Success.  

In just a few weeks entrepreneurs from across Canada will come together to share ideas and strategies while making valuable connections to impact their bottom line.  For those of you who are joining us, we look so forward to seeing you. If you haven't yet registered, don't miss your chance to connect with a fantastic entrepreneurial community.

If you have questions about your business, this is the place to find your answer - entrepreneur to entrepreneur.

See you soon!

Putting Your Business on the
Path to Growth

There is no one way to success, but how do you choose which route to follow? On May 6th entrepreneur panelists Jennifer McNeill and Karen Stewart, along with federal representative Shereen Miller, will take the Innovative Approaches to Success stage to share their stories and strategies to three unique expansion options.

AWE Board Chair Jennifer McNeill, CEO of Planetary Growth Ltd, will provide her expertise in the area of international business. A serial entrepreneur, Ms. McNeill helps companies grow their business internationally and from this session attendees will take away a better understanding of how to take their business global.

You may have seen the billboards "Divorce the Fairway", but in this panel you will meet the woman entrepreneur behind this multi-national franchise. Karen Stewart, President and CEO of Fairway Divorce Solutions, will offer her know-how behind the world of franchising. Read more...
