The Falcone Center for Entrepreneurship in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University has announced its program for the 2006 Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship (WISE) conference, to be held April 11 at the OnCenter in downtown Syracuse.

“Each year, we have a great lineup of entrepreneurs and experts from across the country and from Central New York; however, this year we have a really amazing group of entrepreneurs who have taken a day or more out of their lives to be at the 2006 WISE Symposium,” says Nola Miyasaki, executive director of entrepreneurship programs at Whitman. “These women are inspirational, and their stories will make it clear that anyone with passion and discipline can succeed in being an entrepreneur.”

Breakout topics will feature experts on everything from the patterns and problems that surround women’s entrepreneurship, raising money, guerrilla marketing for start-up companies, website tactics for small businesses, and important legal advice for women entrepreneurs.

The conference will close with a reception and wine tasting. Early registration continues through April 6. The cost is $45 for the general public and $10 for full-time students with I.D. Same-day registration is $55.
