MADISON, Wis. – From personnel to Paycheck Protection, and from marketing to better managing your money, the June 4 Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Conference will use a virtual SaaS platform to engage attendees in five concurrent conversations on topics of interest.
These concurrent “birds of a feather” sessions will create guided conversations that follow the general theme of the conference, which is “Crossing the coronavirus chasm: Surviving and prospering during a ‘new normal’ for young companies.”
