If you want to start a business, you’ve gotta learn to swim with the sharks, and Daymond John, reality TV judge on Shark Tank and one of the keynote speakers at InfusionCon 2013, will share how to sink or swim in the world of small business.
Entrepreneurs from around the world head to Scottsdale, Ariz. on Wednesday, March 27 for the seventh annual InfusionCon user conference. Infusionsoft, a Chandler-based all-in-one sales and marketing software company, presents the three-day conference designed to bring together small businesses to learn and network. The conference runs through Friday, March 29.
During InfusionCon 2013, held at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, attendees have the opportunity to view keynote presentations, participate in hands-on product training, listen to business success stories and network with fellow small business owners.
“The energy at last year’s InfusionCon was incredible and we’re just so excited to give our customers an even better experience in 2013,” Infusionsoft co-founder and CEO Clate Mask said. “Everything we have lined up for our customers is top-notch – from the speakers we have in store, to the content tracks we’ve prepared. We can’t wait to spend time with the high caliber small business leaders who make up our customer base, and help them achieve further success in their ventures.”
Keynote speaker Daymond John is the founder of FUBU clothing, best-selling author and Shark Tank reality TV judge. John has been presented with awards such as Brandweek Marketer of the Year and the Advertising Age Marketing 1000 Award for Outstanding Ad Campaign. He will share his experiences and marketing insight with attendees.

It will prove to be a highly impactful session.”
