Exploring the Future, Now.
On September 17th, the Small Business Community Network (SBCN) will be hosting the @MarketPlace Conference at THEMUSEUM in downtown Kitchener.
This year's theme is Exploring the Future, Now. With the rapid pace of change in technology, community and business we're looking to see what the future holds. You're invited to join us and see how upcoming trends can help you build better businesses, communities, environments and lifestyles.
Breakfast & Lunch
Start the day off right, with a delicious breakfast—sure to have you firing on all cylinders! Stay with us and enjoy a fabulous lunch whilst you network and discuss your experience of the conference's morning program.
Keynotes
We're very pleased to have two dynamic keynote presentations from LinkedIn and TELUS. This is a perfect opportunity to hear from some of Canada's thought leaders as they invite us to explore the future, now.
Vendor Village
Our vendor village showcases local businesses with an eye to the future. From sizzling entrepreneurs to businesses who aren't shy to re-invent themselves to stay on the bleeding edge, you'll see a slice of what's happening in our region.
Networking
The @MarketPlace Conference prides itself on providing the very best networking atmosphere. Our attendees found the networking to be one of the highlights of @MarketPlace 2011. It's an excellent chance to make new connections and strengthen existing ones.
Panel Discussion
After an all-male panel at the 2011 conference, this year it's the turn of the ladies as they offer perspectives on what it takes to succeed as women in business. We have some phenomenal panelists lined-up who will inspire and broaden your horizons.
Seminars
What's a conference without quality seminars from well-respected speakers? We have some great speakers lined up, and several more to announce as we get closer to the event. Don't miss our call for speakers if you'd like to speak to our theme of Exploring the Future, Now.
