1969-12-31 08:00:00 1969-12-31 16:00:00 America/Vancouver BizCamp 5 days. A Tribe of Entrepreneurs. Master the skills to become a successful business owner. Let’s face it — being a business owner isn’t a cakewalk. In fact, it often bleeds into everything: Your personal life, your relationships… your every waking hour. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed from all the moving parts of running a business, or if you’ve ever felt afraid that you will fail your team or your customers, or maybe you feel trapped in what can only be described as a ‘daily grind’ where you’re “just getting by” financially, then you need to plug into the BizCamp tribe! BizCamp was designed to transform your life by providing a space that allows you to grow from the talented “technician” into a confident business owner. Into one who’s able to overcome the obstacles that come with carving one’s own path, who’s able to impact the lives of your staff, who’s able to generate a healthy revenue within your business, and who’s able to carve out the work and life-balance that you know is possible to create. When is BizCamp and can you give me more info on the tickets? BizCamp runs for 5 days (Sept 26-30, 2016) - this is NOT an “all-day” event, because you’ve got a business to run after all! We’ve got three types of tickets available, so you can choose what will be the best fit for your schedule (and for how deep you want to go into exploring the ins-and-outs of your business). The Basecamp Punch Pass gives you access to all 5 of our 60 minute “Feature Speaker” session that runs from Noon-1pm each day. You can get your Basecamp pass for $95 (+ tax). The Ascent Pass gets you access to all 5 of our Feature Speaker sessions as well as 5 in-depth workshops. If the Feature Speakers sessions are the “Theory”, the workshops are the “Practical Application” to implement within your business. You’ll also get access to the VIP Wrap-Up ‘Roof Party’ as well as our Kick-off networking event. You can get your Ascent Pass for $495 (+ tax). The Summit Pass is limited in availability AND only for the Go-Getters! With this pass you get all of the above as well as one-on-one goals definition coaching with operations guru Craig Powell, Daily Stand-Up Sessions to help keep you on point with executing your goals, the Collab + Mentorship Sessions with the other VIP attendees, and more! This is for the people who want that extra-focus on making sure their business is the focus of attention. Additionally, you will get 10 days of coworking at co+Lab, a hub for entrepreneurs, creatives, and gamechangers. Get your Summit Pass for $995 (+ tax). Being a part of BizCamp means that you are helping aspiring entrepreneurs around the globe who are less fortunate than us kickstart their businesses. For every BizCamp Ascent and BizCamp Summit pass sold, BizCamp will make a $50 donation to Kiva.org, a global non-profit that supports small businesses in poverty stricken nations. As for what you can expect from the BizCamp: We’ve assembled a team of speakers and trainers who will give you the ‘How-to’ skills and attitude to get your business off the ground, to tackle a big project, or to do something radically different. Topics for our Feature Speakers and Masterclasses include: Trisha Miltimore (1 Hour Feature Speaker) How to focus on the importance of believing in your own strength, confidence and talents (especially in times when everyday life can be a struggle) and practical REAL strategies to maintain the momentum in the face of adversity (professional/personal challenges).

Stephanie Hayes (2 Hour Masterclass) How to understand (current or prospective) customers and validate ideas about your products and services — through customer development and value proposition techniques.

How can you take your expertise, and package it into something you can sell around the world?
