Tuesday, March 16, 2010

Wealthy Theatre

1130 Wealthy St. SE

Ever thought of starting your own business?  Want to hear more about the business climate in West Michigan?


Rapid Growth Media in conjunction with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority will cover that topic Tuesday night during its second Speaker Series event. Four business owners who  have taken their companies "global" will discuss why they chose Grand Rapids as their headquarters, the challenges and opportunties they faced, and how you could be inspired to be an entrepreneur yourself. 


Moderated by Diane Sieger, president of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation, the discussion includes these panelists:
• Dottie Rhodes, principal of Plenty Creative, a downtown design studio
• Bing Goei, chief executive officer of Eastern Floral and founder of the Goei Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence
• Marcel Thibert of tronixr.us, an online electronics retailer
• Carl Erickson of Atomic Object, a developer of custom software solutions
 


Doors open at 4:45 p.m. The program is 5:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. Admission, food and beverages are free. Feel free to stick around for networking.
