"We are living at a time where starting and growing a business is easier than ever because of technology," said Dr. ZaLonya Allen, president of the National Entrepreneurs Association. "There are so many tools available to us, and entrepreneurs must learn to take advantage of those tools, hence why we have themed this year's event, 'Power Up Your Business.'"

To kick off the conference, Tommey Walker, creator of Detroit VS Everybody, will serve as the morning keynote speaker. Mr. Walker became his own boss at the age of 25. In 2012, he created Detroit Vs. Everybody as an apparel line but the brand has since been adopted as the Detroit city motto. In five short years, the brand has grown from an online retail store to a global brand with six storefront locations.

There will be a total of nine breakout sessions for attendees to choose from. Google will provide two training sessions: "How to Reach Customers Online with Google" and "Google Digital Skills for Everyday Tasks."
