HOW WILL THIS WORK
We are conducting an Evening with the Experts on Wednesday, August 4, 2010. There will be a reception at 6pm in the Honfleur Gallery (http://www.honfleurgallery.com/), followed by information sessions beginning at 6:45pm.
During the information sessions, business owners will rotate to hear your expertise and critical advice and ask questions on business topics important to their success.
There will be two rotations, each lasting 45-minutes.
You may conduct an individual session or do a joint session with other alum. We anticipate 15-20 minutes of presentation, followed by a question and answer period. Believing that the richest learning lies in the exchange of ideas, the majority of the time is spent on discussion and the question and answer period.
