Economic Development for Central Oregon, in partnership with the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, presents
PubTalk features keynote speaker Lance Neibauer, founder and designer of kit aircraft manufacturer Lancair and its spin-off Columbia Aircraft. Neibauer will talk about business challenges in the high-barriers-to-entry aircraft manufacturing industry, raising equity capital and building successful companies. He’ll touch on his philosophies of design and company culture.
Neibauer has been at the forefront of redefining the modern airplane for the last two and a half decades. A graphic artist by training, his acclaimed designs are known as much for their unconventional beauty as their state-of-the-art engineering and safety.
February PubTalk also features an early stage company presentation by HBN, a start-up with an intriguing approach to managing and distributing digital content by means other than web browsers or email programs. Kevin Corson, HBN’s founder, has prior technology experience as founder of Marketing Engineers, Chief Vision Officer for Sonic Foundry and President of COVOX.
A Business Plan Workshop will be held at Deschutes County Library prior to the Feb. 8th PubTalk, from 3:30 – 5:00 pm. Instructors Jim McCreight from the OEN and Pam Stevenson from the SBDC will help coach and educate those interested in developing or fine-tuning a business plan. Sponsored by the OEN, SBDC & EDCO, this workshop is free, is only for PubTalk attendees, and is open to the first 25 individuals who sign up. Register by emailing Jim McCreight with OEN at jmccreight@yahoo.com.
"This seminar reviews all components of an effective, compelling business plan,” Jim says. “You will learn from two seasoned OEN experts why certain information is important and how your audience will evaluate what you present. Besides learning the ’whys’, ‘whats’, and ‘hows’ of your plan, you'll take away valuable handouts, a bibliography, and a listing of key resources."
