Michael Clouser presents: "Opportunity Landscapes for Entrepreneurs in a Down Economy"
05 February 2009, 06:30PMTonight Michael will discuss the current state of the global economy and how it got there, as well as offer insight into where it might be going over the next 5-10 years. From here he will present a unique perspective on the opportunity landscape facing entrepreneurs today. Is now a better time than ever to start a new company? If so, in what industries or sectors? What markets might be ripe for exploitation? He will both draw from historical examples as well as offer up new ideas for today in answering these questions. This talk promises to be straight and sobering yet upbeat at the same time.
