What is Touchpoint?

August 3, 2011

Startup Princess began in 2006 as a much needed resource for women starting and growing businesses.  Today Startup Princess serves as a connection point offering resources, coaching and events to support women entrepreneurs in every stage of their business.  Now, five years later, StartupPrincess.com was just listed as number four of the top ten resources/sites for women entrepreneurs by forbes.com and @startupprincess is in the top 20 of business people to follow on twitter.  Twittergrader lists @startupprincess as number twenty five of influential women on twitter.  Startup Princess has gone from 25,000 followers on twitter to over 89,000 in just three months.

Attendees at the 2010 TouchpointOn the heels of these great honors, Startup Princess is pleased to announce the Touchpoint – The 5th Annual Conference for Women Entrepreneurs presented by Bank of American Fork.  This two-day event is the largest event hosted by Startup Princess annually.  “Touchpoint is a unique event that not only provides education for starting and growing a business, but it provides connections for women to support each other as they walk (sometimes run) the course of business ownership,” says Founder, Kelly King Anderson.

Touchpoint, will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, in Sandy, Utah on Thursday September 15th and Friday, September 16th, 2011.

Startup Princess continues to bring in top talent from all over the country and are pleased to announce their keynote speakers for Touchpoint 2011.  Our keynote speakers on Friday, September 16th are Anita Campbell, founder of smallbusinesstrends.com from in Cleveland, Ohio; Ishita Gupta founder of fearlessstories.com from New York, New York; Tiffany Peterson, founder of The Lighthouse Principles from Salt Lake City; Carley Knobloch Chief Twirler from digitwirl.com from Los Angeles, California and Heather Ledeboer founder of Mom4life.com from Idaho.  These women not only exemplify what it takes to run a successful business in tough times, but they are everyday women balancing the other demands of marriage, life and motherhood.  Anderson says, “It’s an honor to share the stage with these successful businesswomen.  Their expertise and talent is inspiring and their messages are timely.  Their insights will help our attendees, in any stage of business, grow with confidence and strength.”

In addition to powerful keynote speakers, on Thursday, Startup Princess is hosting an Image and Media workshop in conjunction with Touchpoint.  Attendees will learn how to prepare themselves to be “ready for media at any moment”.  Topics include “Stepping Into Your Power” by past Miss Utah Cherie Burton, “Developing Your Style For Success” with Allison Czarnecki from PetitElefant.com and “How to ROCK Your Next Media Opportunity” with Jeanette Bennett, editor of over a dozen magazines including Utah Valley BusinessQ.  Thursday is sure not to disappoint and will help attendees set themselves up for media success.
