5 Reasons to Attend #MILLSUMMIT
The #MILLSUMMIT is a two-day experience designed for young professionals who want to make an impact in their career field and community. There are thousands of reasons to snag a ticket and join us at the Chase Center this August. Here are a few of our favorites...
1. All the coolest people will be under one roof right here in Wilmington. We attract a wide range of professionals, from budding entrepreneurs to non-profit leaders to accomplished artists. Mingle and network with the movers and shakers of Delaware - and beyond.
Our 2019 Keynote Speakers:
America’s Got Talent Champion, Kechi Okwuchi: a Nigerian-born young woman with an incredible voice and an even more breath-taking story.
The man behind the mission, Clay Mowry: the VP of marketing for Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ space exploration company.
All-Star entrepreneur, Del Johnson: a Principal at Backstage Capital, a VC fund that specifically invests in underrepresented founders.
Top innovator and author, Wayne Kimmel: Sports Tech VC at SeventySix Capital and named in Philadelphia Business Journal’s Power 100.
2. Gain new skills or refine your existing skill set. The Millennial Summit offers a variety of tracks, including Nonprofit, Finance, Wellness, Leadership, Government, Arts, and Entrepreneurship. Follow one track all day and expand your expertise, or mix it up and discover the right blend of skills to catapult you to the next level.
3. Explore how your passion can spur change in your community. At its core, the Millennial Summit is about empowering you to make a difference. Co-founder Rob Herrera says, “Our generation wants to get involved. But too often, it’s hard to connect with organizations that are already working on finding sustainable solutions to various problems. We built the #MILLSUMMIT to bring everyone together under one roof to spark real dialogue and positively spur impact in our community.”
4. Don’t miss out on this valuable experience. There are a lot of soft skills and benefits to attending the Millennial Summit. But let’s get real - what does the cost of your ticket really get you? In addition to all of the programming and networking opportunities you’ll have, stop by our exhibitor hall to get a free professional headshot, enjoy a healthy lunch, and join us after the conference for a free happy hour!
5. Take a break from ordinary. This is not your parents’ networking conference. This isn’t a stuffy business conference where you have to wear a suit and race to collect the most business cards. Instead, you can win prizes for being active on social media or kick some butt playing corn hole out in the lobby. There’s plenty to learn, but more importantly, there’s plenty of fun to be had, too!
