We have some pretty cool conferences that happen in Louisville. There’s IdeaFestival, Derby City Comic Con, ConGlomeration just to name a few. Now there is a new conference in town, this one focusing on small business. Called Small Business Shamen, the conference seeks to educate and inspire small business folks across the board, not restricted to one industry.
Our audience is anyone who believes in the power of small business and the local economy as an agent of change in the world. From landscapers to tech startups, artists to attorneys. The Small Business Shamen series will be education and food for thought in a complete array of business necessities, inspiration to brass tacks.
The inaugural conference takes place April 4, 2012 at the Ice House on Main Street. Scheduled speakers for the event include Chris Brogan, Mayor Fischer, Mike Mays, Peggy Noe Stevens, JK McKnight and Jason Clark.
Early registration for the conference is open now and runs $125 for the one-day event (includes lunch).

Any idea why Shaman is spelled Shamen. There was a music group named with the latter spelling. Even on their website they use both spellings. That is odd enough for me to question – strange enough to wonder why.

Hi Pat,
We’re using Shamen as the plural of Shaman, as “shamans” just doesn’t flow very well. And if it’s good enough for The Shamen of the 80′s, it’s good enough for us.
Thanks!
