Breakout workshops throughout the day gave attendees the opportunity to work in smaller groups where they could focus on more specific topics that pertain to their business needs.

Our final keynote presentation of the day was a fast-paced, Ted Talk style session titled Hot Mic and featured three speakers who presented topics from each area of their expertise. Speakers included Anthony M. Butler, senior international director of E3 Business Group; Kristal Caron, owner and managing partner of CN Sports Group; and Jeff Piersall, founder and CEO of SCB Marketing.

The day concluded with a food truck networking reception sponsored by JPMorgan Chase and Co. where attendees savored a BBQ buffet and built relationships with their fellow participants.
