In honor of the first ever National Entrepreneur's Day, the United States Global Enterprise Association (USGEA) held an event called Entrepreneur's Conference 2010 (ECON2010) to honor and celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurism. Put into motion by a concept for a day honoring American entrepreneurs which arose in January 2010 and was proclaimed an actual holiday by President Obama shortly thereafter, the USGEA decided to put on this event to coincide with the new holiday and honor those who are continuing to build up the U.S. economy.

Business leaders deserve recognition for their supportive role in the economy and community. The Entrepreneur's Conference 2011 will recognize companies and individuals in 7 categories, including Best Employers, Best Executives, Best Marketing Firms, Best Venture Capitalists, Best Business Schools, Best Entrepreneurs, and Best Global Enterprises.

After a process that merited thousands of signatures and 6 months of campaigning, National Entrepreneur's Day was appointed as the last day in National Entrepreneur's Week by President Obama in 2010. As such, the USGEA designed ECON as a way to bring entrepreneurs and enterprises together on this day and offer them the chance to network and learn from one another in an event that aimed to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit. In addition to offering networking opportunities and resources, ECON also aimed to honor those who were doing an exceptional job in their part as entrepreneurs.

Top Business Awards are given to companies and individuals who display innovative vision and exceptional growth in their field. Award winners give back to their communities and to the business world through charities and mentoring. ECON2011 is a chance for local and global business leaders to meet, network, and share ideas.

In addition to ECON, the USGEA is a general supporter of the growth of small, medium and large enterprises, and encourages this growth daily through its membership which connects entrepreneurs, executives, educators, investors and other business people from all around the world.
