Q:  What is the Manini Marketing Go To Grow Conference?

A: A two-day intensive boot camp that teaches small business owners how to use creative “low budget”, little or no staff practical approaches to achieve their business promotion, public relations, and marketing goals.

There will be 35 speakers in 44 different keynote and breakout sessions that will be inspiring attendees either about their personal experiences building successful companies, or describing special secret techniques that really work for the Manini business person to get the most marketing for the least amount of resources.

Speakers are chosen from successful business people in the community who have personally accomplished what they are speaking about, instead of imparting second hand theoretical information from other sources.

 
Q: Why is this Conference Needed?

A: One in every two businesses in America fail within 4 years;   76% of all businesses have no employees; We believe most of the quarter million or so trained business graduates from business schools are going to work for the top 2% of all businesses that have more than 20 employees.  Where does that leave the rest of businesses?  Do they have any business training? Where do they get their skills? Where do all the speech therapists, dance school owners, and dentists learn how to survive as businesses?


Q: What will this Conference do that other business conferences don’t do?

A: This conference is very unusual in presenting a cornucopia of marketing talents all in one place at one time.  There will also be many structured and unstructured ways to network and interact with others who are seeking advice, business services and information about how to do business more cost effectively.




Q: What is the most likely benefit from attending this conference?

A: Probably the greatest benefit is obtaining great ideas to boost your business.  Sometimes all you need is one great idea to boost your business. 

The next best benefit is cost savings.  Going to the conference may save your 20 or 30 times your investment in going to individual conferences. 

A large number of opportunities to network is the next best benefit.
