The Young Entrepreneurs Going Places Conference 98 provides a fun, information-packed, idea-sharing opportunity for young entrepreneurs from Atlantic Canada. The conference is designed to motivate students to explore entrepreneurship as a way of life, share ideas with other entrepreneurs and provide networking opportunities.
