Westchester Community College’s Gateway to Entrepreneurship (G2E) Center will host its annual GROW Your Business Conference virtually from 8am-10am on three consecutive Fridays: November 6th, 13th, and 20th. The GROW Conference empowers small business owners throughout Westchester County and will feature a variety of workshops over three days as well as a keynote address by Jason Feifer, Editor in Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine.
The GROW Conference, organized by G2E and the Westchester County Office of Economic Development, is the region’s largest gathering of business owners and professionals for the purpose of training for small businesses. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and keeping the health and safety of everyone in mind, this year’s GROW Conference will be going virtual over three days. Local professionals throughout Westchester County will join from their screens for networking, mentoring, business development, and sessions covering leadership, marketing, and strategy for the purpose of building relationships as well as furthering their company’s growth. This year’s GROW Conference will be offering new ideas, perspectives, and strategies on how to continue to grow your business and maximizing success during times of economic distress and uncertainty. Attendees will have the opportunity to tap into a network of like-minded business leaders, potential partners, and resources, and hear from marquee-name professionals and innovators from Westchester and beyond.
Jason Feifer, Editor in Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine, will deliver the keynote at this year’s GROW Conference during the November 6th Leadership Session. Over the past four years as Editor in Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine, Feifer has led the charge in the evolution of the magazine from entrepreneurship being just a career designation to now a mindset and identity for those who are pursuing their own path. In addition to being Editor in Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine, Feifer is also the host of two podcasts Problem Solvers, a podcast about entrepreneurs solving unexpected problems in their business and Pessimists Archive, a podcast on the history of unfounded fears and innovation. During his keynote, Feifer will inspire attendees on how to make and embrace change by discovering opportunities with a fresh mindset.
“Westchester County was one of the original epicenters of the coronavirus in the U.S., creating economic upheaval in our community and forcing businesses to adapt and reinvent themselves,” said Dr. Belinda Miles, President of Westchester Community College. “Westchester Community College is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and workers develop the skills and knowledge they need to power our region’s re-emergence and economic growth. The GROW Conference is an important venue for presenting programs by experts who can support these vital innovators.”
