The panels will consist of highly-successful business people and public-sector economic growth representatives who will focus on several topics including: trends and growth sectors in technology, business growth, angel investments and social media.
“This workshop will provide outstanding guidance to first-time entrepreneurs or experienced business owners looking for a fresh perspective,” said Kristi Howell-Ikeda, President of the Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce.
