HPNG Entrepreneurs Event


Let this post serve as an open letter to my fellow bloggers, to small business owners and everyone and anyone with an Entrepreneurial Spirit in and around the New York City area on Tuesday, April 19, 2011, that there is an event you absolutely MUST attend!  The Hispanic Professionals Networking Group (HPNG) Entrepreneurs Event!

Because I have a very old school journalism background and my first Editor drilled it into my head to 'just give 'em the W's! The Who, What, When, Where and Why' I figure that is where I better start!

Who: The Hispanic Professionals Networking Group (HPNG)

What: Entrepreneurs Event

When: Tuesday, April 19, 2011

Where: Elmo @ The Lounge, 156 Seventh Avenue, (btwn. 19th & 20th), New York, NY

Why: To get answers to the business issues faced by entrepreneurs!

How: Building on the success of HPNG networking events, the event will deliver a live, one-on-one interview with the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Small Business Services, Mr. Robert W. Walsh. Who will discuss certification programs, including the Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Program, the Emerging Business Enterprise (EBE) Program and the Locally-based Business Enterprise (LBE) Program.

On tap will be in depth discussions of business strategies, sales and marketing as well as the sharing of best practices to learn how to overcome business challenges.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to network and service providers will showcase their products or services by way of exhibits and a 'learning theatre'. This learning theatre allows exhibitors to deliver a 3-minute elevator pitch to the audience about their product or service.

Cost: $25.00 pre-pay online or $35.00 at the door

With an impressive line up of Supporting Partners you won't want to miss this one!

*Special Thanks to Louis Pagan for the heads up on this!*
