Disney headlines Brooklyn Business Expo

By Rebecca Seidel

news@queensledger.com

At the Brooklyn Business Expo, companies across the board will network, share ideas, and meet new clients. The sponsors and attendees will range from entrepreneurs and small business owners to big, household names.

The biggest might be Disney.

The Disney Vacation Club - a timeshare-style program offering vacation destinations all over the world - is one of the sponsors for the September 15th event.

The Disney Vacation Club, which has gained over 450,000 members since its establishment in 1991, works on a vacation point system. Member families get a certain allotment of vacation points every year, and are able to customize their vacations as needed.

While the company will not be conducting any of the seminars planned for the day, it sees the expo as a great networking opportunity.

“It’s a way of introducing ourselves and being a part of the community,” said Kristin Beltz, public relations manager for the Florida-based company.

This isn’t the only way the Disney Vacation Club has reached out to New Yorkers. Their Doorway to Dreams store at the Roosevelt Field Mall is a place for families to take a closer look at Disney vacation packages.

But for Disney and other companies, the Brooklyn Business Expo will be a solid day of talking to

“Our goal is to try to get a blend of large and small businesses so that people have a reason to be there,” said Mark Neuwirt, the

event organizer and founder of Expos Your Business, a company geared towards coordinating real-life business networking.

The first Brooklyn Business Expo was in March; this one

BluCo Mechanical 228 51st Street Brooklyn, NY 11220 Phone: 718.965.0900 Fax: 718.965.4250 Blucomechanical.com

will feature more businesses and entrepreneurs, with a larger sponsor base. There will be public workshops and business-related seminars for visitors throughout the day.

Seminars Promise To Entertain, Inform and Surprise Walter Sanchez, editor and publisher of the Brooklyn Star/Queens Ledger Newspaper Group has designed a program of speakers for the business seminar at the Brooklyn Business Expo. “When we at the Brooklyn Star partnered with Mark and the Brooklyn Business Expo on the seminar portion of the Expo,” said Mr. Sanchez, “we wanted to bring a sense of excitement and entertainment to the event.

Prizes and gifts will be given out while participants will also learn a great deal just sitting and listening to a few dozen experts in their prospective fields in business.”

According to Sanchez, community newspapers do, indeed have a wealth of business clients and contacts who are experts in their fields.

Their editors and reporters come into contact with dozens of movers & shakers in Brooklyn who are sure to add to your day. The EXPO staff has set aside time for questions at the seminars and each of the speakers will also be on hand throughout the day at a set of tables for speakers. They can answer questions from participants in a private setting.

The schedule of speakers is as follows: 9:20-Walter Sanchez – publisher Brooklyn Star Newspapers - Kick off – (New QR Bar Codes and short text solutions explained) 9:25-Tom Sanchez-United Print

Group – New promotional items (FREE GIVAWAYS) 9:30- Michael Banach - St. Joeseph’s College – (Higher education) 9:35 Jeremy Rawitz (first 5 minute sales of a sales call) 9:50-Katie Leisure - Bamboo Moves (Yoga for business leaders) 10:00-Constant Contact (email solutions) 11:00 Bill Morales – Global Net Solutions (Data Storage trends) 11:10- Data Storage (Email rules & regulations) 11:15 – Daily News (print trends) 11:30-Asad Baig – Quickbooks tips & tricks Noon: Andrea Clarke Assistant Brooklyn DA (Mortgage Fraud) 12:15- Stephen Hans (Changes in Employment law) 12:25 - John Loscalzo, Founder/ Publisher, Brooklyn Bugle – Brooklyn Heights Blog 12:30-Greg Fischer (business financing) 12:45- Mark Fuchs – Genworth Financial (Stories on out-of-thebox financing) 12:55 – Juan Guillen (Hispanic Market Trends) 1:05-CMIT Computer Solutions (Computer maintainance) 1:20-Ramon Ray – Taste of technology series www.smallbiztechnology.com (new media trends) 1:30-Daily News (online trends) 1:45- -Jeremy Rawitz – (5 minute sales call) 2:00-Constant Contact
