Published on

St. Louis, MO, May 07, 2013 –(PR.com)– goBRANDgo! partner Derek Weber is known for supporting St. Louis via Conflux and go!-celerator, two local organizations he developed to promote regional entrepreneurialism. Now Weber will spread his message at the Sandbox Summit, an event which brings together national business leaders engaged in innovative programs that target community development through entrepreneurship.

Weber will speak at this year’s conference, “Re-Imagining Cities Through Entrepreneurship,” in Lowell, Mass. on Tues., June 11 at University of Massachusetts Lowell. The event is designed for organizations and individuals to share the impact their community-driven entrepreneurship has had in their own regions.

Merrimack Valley Sandbox will host the Sandbox Summit. Founded in 2011, the company fosters entrepreneurship in the cities of Lowell and Lawrence, Mass., two towns which are 20 miles north of Boston and comprised of poor Cambodian and Latino communities.
