The Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club is proud to host its first annual Business Plan Competition Face-Off Event. After three rounds of judging, the two finalists of the 20/30 Business Plan Competition will have ten minutes to present their business plans on April 24th.

After considering each presentation, our experienced panel of judges will then choose the winner. The judges are not the only ones who get to express themselves; the audience will also get to share their opinions. Thanks to COSE’s real-time audience participation system, members of the audience will be able to provide their views on how well each team performed and on each of the two business plans.

This will be an excellent opportunity to hear the next generation of Cleveland entrepreneurs present their business ideas. The event begins at 6:00 p.m., Thursday, April 24, 2008, at:

The Forum Conference Center
One Cleveland Center
1375 East Ninth Street
Cleveland, OH  44114

Networking and appetizers will begin at 6:00 p.m. with presentations at 7:00 p.m. Cost of the event will be:

$10 for 20/30 members
