SOHO-SME to Kick-Off Small Business Week in Toronto with Annual Business Conference and Expo

Ernst & Young “2007 Entrepreneur of the Year” Finalists to Headline Impressive Line-Up of Speakers

Toronto, ON – October 4, 2007 - SOHO Business Group has proudly announced their annual SOHO-SME Business Expo and Conference, set to take place on October 30th, 2007 at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre.

With October being dubbed “Small Business Month”, the Conference couldn’t come at a better time. Held nationwide, the Toronto edition of the SOHO-SME Conference and Expo is enjoying its 3rd year of effectively connecting small to medium sized businesses with the tools and resources to help them succeed in a competitive environment.

“I’m really excited for this year’s conference,” stated Moe Somani, founder of SOHO. “Not only do we have some amazing speakers, but our panel of Ernst & Young “2007 Entrepreneur of the Year” finalists such as Kerry Knee of Flirty Girl Fitness will really give attendees the chance to ask the important questions that can make or break the success of a new business. We’re really lucky to have some incredible speakers this year, which means that that the conference-goers will get a chance to really use us as a resource and reference point for all their business needs.”

The conference boasts talks from speakers such as Kerry Munro of Yahoo! Canada and Mike Agerbo of GetConnected TV fame. The day’s focal point is the Keynote presentation from international stress and humour consultant Loretta LaRoche.  “It’s a great honour to be speaking at the Conference,” said LaRoche.  “I look forward to giving attendees some light-hearted entertainment that also provides some excellent life lessons.”

The entire day has a schedule of talks and presentations to keep any entrepreneur’s palette whet: from talks on technology to motivational speakers, question and answer panels and an “Ask the Expert” center, the tradeshow itself is almost left in the dark. But the chance to network with likeminded business professionals and visit the exhibits and displays should be enough to pique the interest of any entrepreneur in the vicinity.  To learn more about the conference agenda and speakers please visit www.soho.ca.

Starting at 9:30 am and lasting through until 7:30 pm, this event promises to make itself the hub for all small business networking.  Business Owners are encouraged to receive a free pass to this year’s event at www.soho.ca/attendforfree.
