Hey Pensacola, Makenna here to give a shout out to all of the incredible sponsors who helped make EntreCon 2024 possible.
This conference put on by the Studer Community Institute celebrated 10 years of bringing together entrepreneurs from all over to build connections, develop as leaders, and grow in their overall success.
The theme for this year’s conference was “Discover Your PoTENtial”. Keynotes from all across the country and speakers from our local community came together to pour into Pensacola this week for the two day conference.
One of my favorite perks of the conference is the Sponsorship Swag Bags given out with each registration. Today, as I reflect on all that I learned from the conference and sort through the goodies I got, I’m thankful for the sponsors who invest their time and treasure to put on events like EntreCon.
This year marked my seventh year attending the event, and it only continues to get better. The connections you make and the takeaways you receive from leaders in all different industries gives you perspective you simply can’t receive elsewhere.
If you didn’t make it this year, I’m here to tell you that the swag bag alone is worth the investment. The sponsors make sure that you aren’t only taking away useful knowledge from the speakers.
These businesses are the people who serve you in all aspects of your life. The banker, the builder, the technicians, and the business consultants.
The support of sponsors like these help us to do what it takes to be a vibrant community.
