Since its London launch in 2010, the ENTREVO brand has expanded across four countries - Australia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and now the United States. Each franchise incorporates a social conscience within the structure of the business and with a combined average donates approximately $50,000 per quarter to worthy charities from the Princess Trust Foundation, Peace One Day, The Hunger Project, and Tampa's chosen charity, Combat Wounded Veteran Challenge.

"We've featured best-selling authors, CEO's, large charity founders and people who have sold their businesses for vast sums of money," the organizers say. "The large audience and highly esteemed speaker line-up makes for an exciting and highly charged learning environment."

The event is fast expanding into new locations. "Our goal is to operate the Key Person of Influence program in 20 cities around the world within the next four years," says founder Daniel Priestley. "We believe this is an exciting time to be in business and that small business has an important role to play in a productive, functioning economy. At the core of our mission is a desire to share stories of small businesses that are thriving in this transformational time."
