Our mini-conference is just a few short weeks away. Small and Special, an afternoon for passionate small business owners (and aspiring entrepreneurs) is happening on Tuesday June 30, 2009 from 2pm-6pm in the Georgetown Ballroom in Seattle. We’ll have a total of eight speakers for the afternoon, six of which have already been announced. We’re psyched to announce the 7th speaker (hmmm… the “Seventh Speaker” sounds like the new M. Night Shyamalan movie) here on the JFM blog.

Nisha Kelen, founder of Seattle flower shop Fleurish has agreed to share her story at Small and Special. In a world filled with cheap corporate flowers available on the internet, Nisha’s designs are striking and, well… special. In Nisha’s case, the title florist is truly a combination of the words floral and artist.

We hope you’ll join us to hear Nisha’s story as well as those of the other founders. You’ll have a chance to win a custom digital animation from Lilipip Studios worth almost $8,000! All this for only $25. Register soon.
