A Buzz-Filled Day at AccelerateMN’s - Let’s Get Growing Conference

On the heels of Let’s Get Growing Conference (sponsored by AccelerateMN, the brainchild of Buffie Blesi), our Hive would like to extend a honeypot full of thanks to the event organizers and all those who participated.

Buffie Blesi and her dedicated team proved that huge networking opportunities emerge when like-minded business professionals gather to share expertise, recommend resources, and grow together.

Throughout yesterday’s event, entrepreneurs and small business owners from MN gathered to learn about business basics from fundraising growth to employee benefits. Constant Contact expert Jeff Ferrazzo was on-hand to showcase email marketing tools. Keynote sales expert & bestselling author Sam Richter spoke on business and data security in our ever-changing digital world. Finnegan’s provided lovely Amber Ale for the reception.

And, of course, oodles of connections were made among participants. While our Queen Bee assisted with coordinating the event, our Director of Buzz Development and our Chief Financial Bee flitted from session to session and greeted new friends and partners at our booth.

Lastly, a huge sweet THANKS goes to Augsburg College, which opened its doors and made for a perfect host site for this year’s event. We’re excited about all our new connections (thanks toAccelerateMN!), and we’re already looking forward to 2014!
