General Competition Agenda:

Interested Entrepreneurs’ Organization Members who are attending the East Coast Regional Learning Conference will participate as judges in the student entrepreneur competition and will have an opportunity to ask the students questions, give feedback, and share experiences. Once all student presentations are finished the judges scores will be tallied and announced at the opening of the EO NERVE conference.

East Coast Regional Learning Conference Description:
The first annual East Coast Regional Conference is hitting the ground this spring in Atlantic City, NJ. Sponsored by the nine chapters of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast areas, hundreds of EO members will be gathering for three exciting days of knowledge building, unique experiences and bonding with their EO peers.

With a minimum of TEN fantastic speakers, with topics ranging from various business elements to personal and family development, expect to expand your overall knowledge base and come away truly inspired. NONE of these speakers have spoken at a local chapter event, so be prepared for great new content in a fashion only EO can deliver.
