Join us online on January 12-15, 2026 from 12:00-2:00 PM EST each day for an inspiring 4-day event focused on navigating the journey to entrepreneurship.

We’ll discuss What It Takes To Be Ready (what’s different about being an employee vs. being the company owner!), Whether You Really Need Your Own Idea or Can You Buy an Existing Business or Franchise, How Do You Sell and Promote Your Business, and What Do You Need to Do to Create and Grow A Sustainable Business.

There’ll be a daily keynote speaker, a daily panel of entrepreneurs, and an attendee networking session so you can meet other potential founders or existing founders.

If you are

• Currently employed, but looking to make a transition to create your own business
• Not employed, but looking to create your own business rather than be someone else’s employee
• Retired and looking to create your life’s passion into a business(and looking for something beyond golf, book clubs or mah-jong playing)
• A new entrepreneur trying to find your tribe
• Considering creating a side hustle to supplement your current income stream.

Then this conference is for You!

This conference will provide valuable insights from entrepreneurs who have been where you are now as well as networking opportunities.
