2008 Keynotes

Expo 2004

Hear two great keynotes at the 2008 Business and Technology Expo.

Wednesday, March 5th at noon.

On Wednesday send the whole sales team for a quick lunch and a great keynote address by Persogenics founder Michael Cheney,. Learn how to increase your sales and bottom line in any economy. This will improve not only your sales skills and your ability to relate to all kinds of people, but will help in your everyday life as well. This will be a great event for anyone who needs to relate to others.

Thursday, March 6th at noon.

Enjoy Dan Clark, internationally acclaimed professional speaker. He is the coauthor of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" & recently released a book for business called "Forgotten Fundamentals". Thursday's event will also serve as the Chamber of Commerce's First Friday Forum for the month of March.

These speakers follow the great tradition of Business and Technology Expo keynotes, which has included Michael Gerber ("The E-Myth") in 2004, Frank Abagnail, Jr. ("Catch Me If You Can") in 2005, Hyrum Smith ("The Reality Model") in 2006 and Bill Rancic (winner of NBC's "The Apprentice" starring Donald Trump) in 2007.

Admission for these keynotes is free with Expo admission. The ability to do this is thanks to Prosper Learning (Dan Clark) and the Kirton and McConkie Law Offices (Mike Cheney). We appreciate their support. We encourage visitors to enjoy lunch before or after the keynotes (located on the main level of the Expo) from one of our great restaurants.
