Business BootCamp Details

We have pulled together a great series of speakers and sessions for
the Business Boot Camp this year. I hope you will sign up for this event.
It is a unique opportunity that would be worth over $2000 if you were taking
it in another setting. There are only 25 slots available. We have several interesting
people coming to talk from Seattle and Portland.

2009 Business Boot Camp in Corvallis Oregon

Business BootCamp is an intense introduction to business details from
the entrepreneurs point of view. This year, it will be on three
weekends based around Friday evening and Saturday. This will be an
opportunity for you to engage deeply in the question of starting a
business. It will provide you with a chance to meet successful
entrepreneurs, investors and support people who have been engaged in
the process of doing a startup.
