2010 Entrepreneur Conference
Entrepreneurial Rhythm: Building a Scalable Business

June 2, 2010
World Cafe Live
3025 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104

As entrepreneurs move from innovative ideas to building and running their startups, they often find themselves transitioning from performing as a solo artist to working with an ensemble. Successful ventures develop rhythmic activity cycles and, from the harmonious tempo of these cycles, scalable businesses are born. Finding your entrepreneurial rhythm is vital to successfully grow a strong company.

Regional business professionals and the entire Drexel community are invited to attend the 2010 Entrepreneur Conference to witness the importance of rhythm for emerging companies. This annual event features a full day of entrepreneurial activities including panel discussion, Baiada Incubator Competition student presentations, keynote address and awards ceremony.
