Navigate Startup House’s Island Entrepreneurs Exposition will feature a keynote speech by Clearbanc co-founder and TV personality Michele Romanow.

The conference was originally planned to be held in Sydney, where Navigate is based. The event is now slated to be held online on June 24 and 25.

Romanow’s Clearbanc gives loans to e-commerce startups to fund their online advertising. She is also a judge on CBC’s Dragons' Den reality show, which showcases successful entrepreneurs making angel investments in startups and small businesses. She will speak on the first day, and hold a Q&A session on the second.

Earlier this month, Entrevestor reported that Navigate had inked a memorandum of understanding with regional accelerator Propel to foster entrepreneurship in Cape Breton.

Participation in the conference is free, with additional, paid content available. Interested parties can learn more and register here.
