ABORIGINAL ENTREPRENEURS IN NB – JEDI’S PLENARY IS FULL OF CONTENT FOR YOU

February 9, 2015

JEDI would like to invite New Brunswick Aboriginal Entrepreneurs to take part in their Plenary on February 23 – 24. The Plenary is entitled ‘First Nations Open for Business’ and it will explore how more investment can be made in Aboriginal communities, entrepreneurs and youth.

Day 1 will be a fantastic opportunity for entrepreneurs to participate in workshops like:

• Aboriginal Business Funding
• Building Your Brand
• Aboriginal Labour Market Information
• Procurement

Day 1 will also include a networking reception at the Venn Centre that will feature artist Natalie Sappier live painting and several Aboriginal musicians and dancers.

Day 2 is another great day for entrepreneurs, featuring two speakers: Dwayne Ward and Gabrielle Scrimshaw. After the speakers, JEDI will host a panel of Aboriginal Entrepreneurs who will provide insight into their own businesses by sharing what has worked for them and advice for other Aboriginal entrepreneurs.
