Business Summit Results

Wow, the stats are in on the 6th annual CBE Business Summit. We had 133 attendees, and based on survey results 90+% thought that the event was great, Many thought the, the registration process was a breeze, the venue was tasteful, the speakers, Peter Shankman and Mark Mayfield were entertaining with a great messages, and the sessions and their respective presenters were informative. Attendees asked that more sessions be added to next year’s summit roster. They also thought that the food was great. “Overall great seminar”, was the most common comment, coupled with “One of the best networking opportunities to be had for months”. Another one under the belt, but in a week we start planning for the 7th annual CBE Business Summit, because number six will be hard to top.

If you are a job seeker and you didn't go, well - you missed an incredible opportunity to network with potential employers. And just to make you feel worse: During the first session the speaker asked the audience (mostly HR managers of local companies,) "how many of you are planning on hiring at least one person within the next 12 months?" Three quarters of the room raised their hand!

So if you hear about an event like this one in the near future, JUST GO!
