We hope you would find the following information useful (and compelling) enough to write or blog about it. In attendance will be Atlantans who have found themselves in the position of budding entrepreneurs - some whom have recently lost their jobs, the seasoned unemployed, small business owners, freelancers, or those who are using their pink slip as a one-way ticket to success. It promises to be an interesting crowd and a thought-provoking conversation.
