The 2015 Black Enterprise Entrepreneurs Summit gets under way Wednesday at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.
The four-day event will include speakers, sessions and product and service opportunities available to entrepreneurs, in addition to the latest business trends. More than two dozen sessions will be presented, including “How to Secure Millions for Your Business,” “Accelerating Your Tech Start-up” and “Can Entrepreneurs Solve the Education Crisis.”
Small business and family business awards will be announced during a Thursday event hosted by Atlanta-based Georgia-Pacific and its parent, Koch Industries Inc. Other Atlanta-based sponsors include Delta Air Lines, Coca-Cola and Southern Co. The event is hosted by Nationwide.
Scheduled speakers include entrepreneur and comedian Steve Harvey, filmmaker Reginald Hudlin and NewsOne Now host Roland Martin.
A recent survey of small business owners conducted for Bank of America found 76 percent were confident they would hit their year-end revenue goals for 2014 and 50 percent were confident the local economy would improve in the months ahead.
The Entrepreneurs Summit ends Saturday.
