In addition to being a great learning opportunity - a day at the conference allows you to network with fellow entrepreneurs. Proceeds benefit the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation (OTEF), an Arizona 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, that extends benefits in entrepreneurial opportunities and mentoring to economically at-risk populations such as youth, minorities, and low-income women. OTEF's goal is to promote entrepreneurship as a viable pathway to economic self-sufficiency.
