Conference Speakers

A survivor of television’s Shark Tank, the co-founder of America’s largest real estate firm, the pioneer of the Florida Addiction Treatment Model, the lawyer behind the B-Corp legislation, the founder of TriplePundit.com and the financiers leading the way in the impact investing space are among the scheduled speakers at the inaugural Social Enterprise Conference hosted by Palm Beach Atlantic University and HelpedHope.

The event will take place from 9:30am to 5:30pm Saturday, March 12, in the Weyenberg Center on the second floor of the Lassiter Student Center, 900 S. Olive Ave., West Palm Beach. Organizers say it was the first conference of its kind sponsored by a university in South Florida.

“Given current business, political and cultural trends, business owners must attend this conference or risk being left in the dust,” said Alexander Golding, HelpedHope CEO. “Millennials and Gen Z-ers demand brand differentiation based upon social differentiation, and Nielsen has published studies showing that consumers do spend more for products made by socially responsible companies. Who wouldn’t want to make sure his/her business generates more revenue?”

Philip Higgins, a senior majoring in finance at PBA, has been active in planning the conference. “More than ever we find ourselves at a point in history where entrepreneurs have the greatest capacity to create change,” Higgins said. “We hope to influence the minds of the current and future generations of Palm Beach County business leaders, proving to them that social and economic goals can be met in one model.”

    I learned more interesting things on this losing weight issue. Just one issue is that good nutrition is vital whenever dieting. A huge reduction in junk food, sugary food items, fried foods, sugary foods, red meat, and white flour products might be necessary. Keeping wastes parasitic organisms, and harmful toxins may prevent goals for losing fat. While specified drugs briefly solve the issue, the awful side effects usually are not worth it, and they also never give more than a short-lived solution. It can be a known idea that 95 of fad diet plans fail. Many thanks sharing your notions on this web site.
