The Insider: Ideation 2009

On August 1st, Ideation 2009 comes to the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. For one full day, Ideation 2009 will connect entrepreneurs, small businesses, venture capitalists, and anyone interested in networking and learning what it takes to start, grow or maintain a successful business. Ideation 2009 will feature five workshop sessions, a networking room full of companies looking to exchange ideas, and “the Ideation funding room” where start-ups will have the ability to pitch their ideas to potential investors. Entrepreneurs at all stages of their ventures are encouraged to attend this event.


Hosted by Bizness in a Box, Ideation 2009 will provide entrepreneurs with the essential steps for taking a business concept from idea to reality.

Fessler played an integral part in Harley-Davidson’s dramatic turnaround over the past 24 years. Other speakers will cover topics including pitching your idea to investors, networking, funding, marketing, patent and trademark law, and how to buy a business.

The process through which she finds coherent form involves directed collaboration, solitary research, and capricious insight.
