Ryan Allis: CEO of iContact
Ryan Allis, a serial entrepreneurial and college dropout, will be visiting as the Entrepreneur Society's keynote speaker for the year. If the name doesn't ring a bell, he is the founder and CEO of iContact (which he started at UNC-Chapel Hill and has grown over the past couple of years to over $10 million in annual sales), CEO of Virante, and author of Zero to One Million (where he tells his story of how he grew a company to over a million dollars in sales in under a year). His list of accomplishments is too long to list in a single article, but to name a few: He has been featured on the cover of Fortune Small Business, highlighted on The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, serves on the board of directors for Advocates for Grassroots Development in Uganda, Nourish International, Leadership Triangle, and Junior Achievement of Eastern North Carolina, is a team leader with the Lead America Entrepreneurship Conference, a frequent speaker at numerous high schools and colleges around the country, a speaker with the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour, and also was featured in several magazines including Young Money Magazine and Success Magazine, along with other major news sources.
Ryan will be here on Thursday, April 3, and will be kicking off at 7 p.m. in Devlin 008. These events are not only for the entrepreneurial-hearted, but for anyone who is looking for a source of inspiration. Also, at Ryan's event he will be giving away 50 free copies of his book to the first 50 people to show up to the event. Don't miss out.
