The Marriott School at Brigham Young University will host the third-annual MicroEnterprise Conference March 17–18, 2000.
The theme of this year's conference is "Building Bridges to Self-Reliance." The conference, the largest of its kind in the world, brings together educators, investors and non-governmental organizations involved with MicroEnterprise, and it hopes to educate the general public about the fundamental principles of this movement. The conference will include large group presentations and small action-oriented workshops planned to help both experienced volunteers and interested newcomers get involved in the various aspects of MicroEnterprise.
The conference, which is free to the public, will be held from 9–5 in the Wilkinson Student Center on the BYU campus in Provo, Utah. Lunch is available at $6, and registration begins each day at 8 a.m. Two hunger banquets, sponsored by BYU Students for International Development, will be held on Thursday and Friday evenings, March 16 and 17. Tickets for the banquets are $5 each and must be purchased in advance by calling (801) 378-6192.
