JO TO GO Coffee™ Franchise Founder to Speak at Entrepreneur's Connection Conference

Posted on February 08, 2007 by

Green Bay, WI—Richard DuBois, founder and CEO of  JO TO GO America, INC., will be a featured speaker at the Entrepreneur’s Connection Conference in Green Bay, Wisconsin on February 15, 2007.

DuBois opened Wisconsin’s first drive-thru espresso bar in 1998 and now operates a successful franchise with JO TO GO Coffee® locations across the nation. He will impart the lessons that he has learned from his 20 years of senior management experience and small business/franchising know-how.

“The Entrepreneur’s Connection Conference is an opportunity to learn from the experiences of successful entrepreneurs,” commented DuBois. “Formal education is an essential foundation that I fully encourage, but the learning and application of street smarts can mean the difference between toiling to collect a weekly paycheck and taking the world by storm with your own unique vision.”

The Entrepreneur’s Connection Conference is geared to individuals looking for information, advice and networking opportunities for launching or expanding their business dreams. In addition to featuring entrepreneurial success stories such as Richard DuBois and Dave Anderson (founder of Famous Dave’s of America), conference attendees can “get their game on” by participating in the Elevator Pitch Contest. Contestants have 90 seconds to pitch their business ideas to a panel of business leaders and the audience. Contestant garnering the most votes from the panel of judges will receive cash prizes.
