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.
Weber created two of St. Louis’ innovative businesses: The Conflux, a self-perpetuating entrepreneurial ecosystem and go!-celerator, a non-profit incubator for young
entrepreneurs. He will speak about what he has learned and accomplished from growing these two companies.
