Event Details
Don't become a small business statistic!
Of all the new business startups, 1/3 eventually turn a profit, 1/3 break even, and 1/3 never leave a negative earnings scenario. According to a study by the U.S. Small Business Association, only 2/3 of all small business startups survive the first two years and less than half make it to five years.
What does it take to succeed?
Facilitated by ABC's Director of Education, Elise Enloe, Expanding Horizons 2009 will provide you the tools and tips to help your wedding business “blossom.” Addressing business startup and growth issues encountered during the first years of business, seminar attendees will be able to:
- Discuss elements of a business plan
- Differentiate business structures.
- Determine business startup expenses.
- Prepare an advertising budget as part of a business marketing plan.
- Determine how to establish fees.
- Describe contract elements and negotiation skills
Take advantage of this opportunity to plant seeds for success, meet and network with ABC wedding experts, and prepare to “Let Your Business Blossom.”
Click "Respond Here" below for special early registration and pricing.
ABC members now receive 2 educational point towards Education and Professional Development. Don't miss out on this opportunity!
NOTE: We are planning a "walk to" breakfast, so plan to meet in the hotel lobby at 8:00am and we'll start our day with a special treat nearby.
Directions and Parking
The Bourbon Orleans New Orleans Hotel is located in the heart of the French Quarter, at the corner of Bourbon and Orleans Street, twenty-five minutes from Louis Armstrong International Airport.
All streets in the French Quarter are one way, so getting around can be a little confusing your first time here.
From The West
Take I-10 East to the Esplanade Avenue (exit 236A). Turn right on Esplanade (toward the river) and take to Royal Street. Turn right on Royal to Orleans Street. Turn right again on Orleans and the hotel will be on the right hand side. Upon arrival, the Valet will park your car and our bell staff will assist you with your luggage. Parking on the street is limited and not recommended.
From The East
Take I-10 West to Exit 236A to the Vieux Carre / Orleans Street Exit. Turn left on Orleans (toward the River). Orleans will curve to the right. Stay in the left hand lane. Just before the light for St. Louis Street is a U-turn lane with a sign that reads "French Quarter via Toulouse Street." Make the U-turn and veer to the right onto Toulouse. At the next light (Rampart Street) turn left. Take Rampart to St. Ann Street and turn right. Take St. Ann to Royal Street (you will pass the back of the hotel) and turn right on Royal. The next block will be Orleans Street, make another right and you will be at the front of the hotel. Upon arrival, the Valet will park your car and our bell staff will assist you with your luggage. Street parking is limited and not recommended.
Need Local Accommodations?
The Bourbon Orleans Hotel in the heart of the French Quarter features a rich history and opulent French styling reminiscent of the early 1800s. Its central New Orleans location, just steps away from the famed St. Louis Cathedral, means you're never far from the best the city has to offer-from upscale shopping on Royal Street, to the local artists and performers of Jackson Square, to all of the restaurants, galleries and nightlife in between. Rooms are available to ABC members for $99, but you must reserve your accomodations by June 26th to guarantee this rate by calling 866-513-9744 or 504 523-2222 and requesting the Association of Bridal Consultants rate.
