-Topics will be suggested by EMC attendees, mentorship is encouraged & facilitated and EMC session leaders often will be proposed by the class*. Much Q & A and mostly unscripted but organized conversation.
-Topics often include human relationship issues which transcend every type of business and are often the most difficult issues entrepreneurs face.
-The first 3 roundtables will include personal reflections by EMC sessions leader entrepreneurs who built their companies from a couple employees up to 200 employees and in the case of Massey & Groves walked away with significant valuations.
-These successful entrepreneurs will share actual relevant experience including their most difficult decisions in building their businesses.
