EntrepSummit 09: Inspiring Tomorrow's Leaders

EntrepSummit is the annual culmination project of the Business Directorate of the Manila Jaycees (JCI-Manila) since 2008. The project aims to invigorate the SME sector with an annual entrepreneurship event that addresses the challenges of entrepreneurs today by putting together some of the best Filipino business people and influential individuals in a one-day conference to share about their experiences and road to success stories.

With this year’s theme of Inspiring Tomorrow’s Leaders, this event aims to inspire and fuel the entrepreneurial spirit of young Filipinos. It will congregate young entrepreneurs and energetic minds that have creative ideas, and inject them with the business acumen that is needed to transcend the trying challenges of the current world crisis. EntrepSummit aims also to dispel fears about going into business, or staying in business – there is nothing more worthwhile right now to pursue than the Entrepreneurial dream of attaining success and breaking the bonds of financial insecurity. The seminar-cum-exposition will feature 8 of the top business minds in our country today, each of them to deliver strong points on their respective disciplines.

Be Inspired. Unleash the Entrepreneurial Spirit within you. Listen to ideas and stories from business people who are ahead of their time.
