In today’s economy, entrepreneurs face enormous hurdles-especially those in urban neighborhoods which may not have participated in the growth period before the current recession. These entrepreneurs may have good ideas and passion but not a great deal of money or credit. By showcasing entrepreneurs who built successful businesses with little or no cash and a huge amount of passion, we’re hoping to provide inspiration as well as practice tips for how urban entrepreneurs can begin their businesses and succeed.

The Make It Happen Conference will be held at the Kaufmann Center at the Hill House Association (1835 Centre Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219) on June 2, 2012. The Conference will begin with lunch and a keynote speaker and then move to showcase individual business owners who had an idea and pursued their dream regardless of their initial start-up capital. The showcase will go from 1:00 pm to approximately 4:30 pm. In this time, entrepreneurs would tell their stories to groups of people in a “speed dating” kind of environment.
