The 8th annual Ohio Growth Summit is quickly approaching and Central Ohio entrepreneurs should be very excited.
With so many conferences and business classes competing for your biz dollars, moxiepreneurs rightfully ask “What’s in it for me?”
Top Notch Speakers
Past Ohio Growth Summit keynote speakers include Guy Kawasaki, Carrie Wilkerson, Melvin Gravely, Chris Brogan, Jay Baer and Amber Naslund. This year’s keynote is Gini Dietrich, founder and chief executive officer of Arment Dietrich, Inc., a firm that uses non-traditional marketing in a digital world. She is also the author of Spin Sucks, an award-winning blog on public relations and was spotlighted in one of Moxie’s most popular post – “Gini Dietrich Talks Entrepreneurs, Failure + Brand Voice.”
In addition to Dietrich, Paul Evans – entrepreneur, author and speaker, will be on hand with advice for growing online profitability. Evans started his first business at the age of twenty and has helped more than 10,000 entrepreneurs start their own business.
