"More than 30,000 business owners and entrepreneurs have benefited throughout the years from the activities of this annual networking and information sharing event," Mayor Palmer said. Last year’s event drew more than 4,000 people from Trenton and surrounding areas.
The week long event started out on Monday, October 15 at 8 am with a networking breakfast featuring keynote speaker Susanne Svizeny, Regional Banking President, Wachovia Bank. Susanne shared her passion for Trenton and led a high-energy discussion on the ways each and every member of our business community can benefit from the numerous attributes of the capital region.
