Speakers for the entrepreneurship panel will represent several stages of business development. Kevin Price will share his experience planning a new business; Jacob DeHart, recently honored in Crain’s Chicago Business’ “40 Under 40” List, will discuss his experiences with Threadless.com and skinnyCorp LLC, both of which are young businesses; Nancy C. Rodriguez, president of Food Marketing Support Services, Inc, will discuss her thriving business which was founded in 1985; and Daniel Doody, owner of Doody Enterprises, an online medical publishing company, will cover the ups and downs of a business currently in transition.
