The first Market the Valley Business Expo to pump up western Wisconsin businesses is coming to Hobbs Arena May 17-18. There will be a mix of product promotion through booths set up by Valley businesses, employment recruiting and soliciting, along with presentations from major local and national influences. On May 17 there will be a Networking Social Party from 5-7:30pm, with the expo and tradeshow booths open. On May 18, between 9am and 4pm, there will be one-hour business seminars featuring a pretty impressive list of speakers. Topping the list are The One Minute Manager author, Ken Blanchard, former NBA star and motivational speaker Walter Bond, and Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning, who will each offer their business smarts – wait for it – live via satellite.
