Are you a high school student interested in developing your competitive advantage and networking with some of Canada’s brightest entrepreneurs? If so, then why not register for the 2010 Back to Business Conference to be held in Guelph on March 6, 2010.
B2B is the brainchild of 10 students, 2 of which are Impact members. Last year, Susie Pan and Mitchell Schinbein were Shad Valley Interns for Impact, working together on the Impact National Conference, giving them the inside experience of planning and executing a national conference.
The goal of the B2B conference is to bridge the gap between business skills and knowledge, teaching valuable and essential business skills that cannot be learned through textbooks.
Impact will be highlighted at the B2B conference – promoting the Impact Microcredit Competition and the 2010 Impact National Conference. The 2010 Back To Business Conference will also feature student keynotes, interactive business challenges such as the first ever Business Olympics, an exhibition of local resources and opportunities, as well as lots of networking opportunities.
Some of the events at the conference include:
- Elevator pitch – An opportunity to learn to develop your 30 second pitch.
- Exhibition Scavenger Hunt
- Patent Pending – An interactive marketing sales pitch challenge.
In addition, B2B is offering a $500 scholarship to a high school student who has demonstrated tremendous business leadership in his or her community. B2B has established this scholarship to recognize the amazing work of youth and their tremendous potential as future business leaders. To apply, please go to the website: www.back2business.org
