SCORE of Southeastern Connecticut Presents Its Second Annual Networking Event, Featuring Guest Speaker Maria Miranda
This year, we are thrilled to welcome Maria Miranda, Principal and Creative Director of Miranda Creative, as our guest speaker. Her engaging talk “30 in 30” (30 Years in 30 Minutes: Lessons Learned/Stripes Earned) includes candid stories from her (first) 30 years in business. Her experience running a start-up-to-successful marketing company will inspire and empower fellow entrepreneurs with humor, sincerity and tangible advice.
“I am honored to join you at this annual gathering and to be invited to tell a bit of my story,” commented Maria. “This lecture is outside of my traditional ad/tech talks, and I look forward to sharing the unfiltered story behind the hashtags.”
This free, fun and informative event includes food, soft drinks and a cash bar. The event requires registration, as capacity is limited and the Maritime Grille needs to know how much food to prepare. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER (if you are bringing any guests, please register them individually).
