Gene Simmons to Headline
SBH's 32nd Annual Conference
Small Business Hawaii (SBH) is pleased to announce that the luncheon keynote speaker at the 32nd annual SBH Business and Investment Conference, “Small Business 2008: Hawaii’s Economic Tipping Point,” will be rock musician legend, A&E television star and entrepreneur extraordinaire, Gene Simmons. (That's right, that Gene Simmons!) Seating and space is limited.
The conference will be at the Ala Moana Hotel, from 8 am to 2pm on Wednesday, January 9, 2008. Advance registration is required.
Simmons who appears on many business programs regularly such as the recent Michael Eisner program on MSNBC, is a star of the hit A&E reality series, “Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels.” While known for his all star musical rock, zany makeup — and that tongue — Simmons is the consummate successful businessman with hundreds of Kiss related innovative products. He will share his entrepreneurial secrets and, “Ten Points to Make You Rich Like Me.”
In addition, a full crew of A&E television producers will be here to film two Hawaii episodes featuring Gene at the SBH conference , at our conference partner, JP Mariott Ihilani Resort in Ko’olina, and other island attractions. SBH is grateful to Jeff Stone of the Resort Company and his staff for arrangements for this very special event.
You must see Gene and ask him questions. But you must also reserve early.
