It is an excellent opportunity for you — and your associates, clients or key employees — to get a running start on business ideas and alerts for 2007.

The theme of the Conference is "Small Business 2007: Contributing to Hawaii's Dynamic Economic Growth."

(Green) Gyotaku Japanese Restaurant, Summerlin Insurance, Production Hawaii and HawaiiReporter. Each will have their own special exhibit area.

Cliff Slater will share strategies aimed at derailing the $6 billion mass transit tax train.

State Labor Director Nelson Befitel will outline the Administration's legislative plans for business during 2007. City Deputy Prosecutor Chris Van-Marter and State DCCA Director Mark Recktenwald, will discuss business and identity theft.

There will be a legislative panel headed by new Senate President Colleen Hanabusa, Sen. Carol Fukunaga and Rep. Gene Ward giving you a preview of the 2007 Legislative Session and its impact on small business, starting on Wednesday, January 17.

SBH's Small Business Success Awardees include: Owen O'Callaghan of Hawaiian Happy Cakes; Lori Komer, Leahi Swim School, Inc. and Wally "Famous" Amos, Chip n' Cookie. They'll share tips and strategies for your business success in this upbeat, positive outlook.
