BRIM 2011 Will Ignite Michigan Business For Free
Bringing Relentless Innovation to Michigan is the goal of Oneupweb and other Traverse City businesses—BRIM 2011 to accomplish this goal on November 10.
September 29, 2011
(TRAVERSE CITY, MI) – Digital marketing pioneer, Oneupweb is proud to announce BRIM 2011—an innovative thought leadership conference for businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs of Michigan. With the help of other Michigan business owners, executives and experts, BRIM 2011 will deliver strategies and best practices to help businesses grow and thrive within Michigan—all at no cost.
“We [Oneupweb] couldn’t be more excited about creating and hosting such an engaging and valuable event,” explains Oneupweb CEO and founder, Lisa Wehr. “‘It’s [BRIM 2011] more than just about inspiring; it’s actually going to provide business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs with the answers they need to succeed.”
As Wehr stated BRIM 2011 is there to answer questions, which is why Oneupweb decided to steer away from having speakers and seminars, and instead create a conversational event. BRIM 2011 will consist of three panels, all live Q&As to allow attendees to interact with panelists, covering all things marketing (both traditional and digital methods)—business planning, branding, engagement, public relations and more.
And if that’s not interactive enough, attendees can apply to be considered for a pitch session that will take place in front of the entire BRIM 2011 audience and the Northern Michigan Angels in conjunction with the BlueWater Angels. Due to limited seating, Michigan business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs are asked to fill out an application to be considered for registration. Deadline to apply for this event is October 24, 2011.
On Thursday, November 10, 2011 BRIM 2011 selected attendees can expect:
• Three riveting panel discussions: “Advancing to the Next Level”, “Engage with Purpose and Brand with a Plan” and “Spearheading Social Media Marketing”—all live Q&As
• Network with panelists, moderators, sponsors and attendees
• An opportunity to pitch new business ideas and/or business growth concepts to the Northern Michigan Angels in conjunction with the BlueWater Angels investor panel
BRIM 2011 panels are composed of forward thinking companies, entrepreneurs and business educators, whom all were selected based on their passion for business development and their expertise.
“I am honored to be a participant on one of the panels for the BRIM conference,” explains Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce COO, Laura Oblinger. “The energy and creativity behind the innovative discussions that will take place at this event is an experience I’m anxious for. Beyond my participation on a panel, I’m looking forward to engaging and connecting with participants, and learning from other experts that will be in attendance.”
