Budding entrepreneurs now have an opportunity to attend a conference designed to help them enhance their business ambitions.

Opportunity Squared is offering two scholarships for its nine-county area, including Marion County, to attend EntreFest.

This conference in Cedar Rapids on May 16th and 17th is intended to introduce future businesspersons to established entrepreneurs, who will give presentations on how they built up their own businesses…and advice on how the attendees can do the same.

Applications are being accepted through April 12th; more information is available through the Marion County Development Commission, or entrefest.com
