You’ll Love this Forum for Entrepreneurs and Innovators

Morning Insights is an idea exchange, designed to help you deepen your knowledge of the regional economy while you strengthen and grow your local network.  Each month’s eye-opening presentation gives a jumping off point for your conversations, and ample time is built in for networking.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re featuring a very special guest presentation this month. Crafting Cupid’s Campaign: A Heartfelt Approach to Marketing in Coachella Valley will help you build (something that resembles) true love between your business and your customers all year long. You’ll discover data and insights that you wouldn’t otherwise have access to. Put these insights to work for you at your place of business – or at nonprofits you’re involved with, too.

Morning Insights is generously sponsored by Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.
