Plans are underway for the DeKalb Chamber’s Inaugural Everest Awards and Business Expo set to take place on Friday, July 23, 2010 at the Emory University Conference Center. Taking its names from the highest mountain on Earth above sea level, the event is dedicated to the recognition of small business and corporate diversity and responsibility. Operating in a trade show atmosphere, the one-day business networking extravaganza and conference will feature many of DeKalb County’s top small businesses and corporations as exhibitors and is sure to attract a wide diverse group of attendees. This event promises to provide a great opportunity to expose businesses to hundreds of potential clients and generate quality business leads. The highlight of the one day event will feature keynote remarks from Georgia Department of Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond and renowned motivational speaker, author, and trainer Les Brown who will keynote the awards luncheon and expo respectfully.
“This years Everest Awards and Expo event is the perfect marketing channel for organizations offering business opportunities, franchises, advice or support services and investment opportunities.” commented DeKalb Chamber of Commerce Board Chairman Darryl Ford. “It’s more than a celebration of success, it’s an awe-inspiring sensation recognizing accomplishments of those that contribute to enhancing the quality of life in DeKalb County in the midst of an economic downturn” added Ford, the Owner and General Manager of Stone Mountain Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Stone Mountain.
The event will begin at 11:30 with the luncheon and culminate with the expo that afternoon. Expo attendance is free to the public while luncheon costs are $75 for members and $90 for non-members.
