Entrepreneurs to Fly Fighter Planes, Dine 180 Feet Above Vegas Strip and Learn from $1B Zappos CEO

Oct. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- POTOMAC, MD – Maverick Business Adventures® (MBA) will introduce ambitious entrepreneurs to a series of high-adrenaline adventures Nov. 5-8 in Las Vegas, NV.

Participants get to fly an SF-260 Marchetti Italian, aerobatic fighter plane, dine 180 feet above the Las Vegas Strip suspended by a 200-ton crane and sip cocktails at the only club where everything is made entirely of ice. On the business side, members take part in a private field trip and strategy session at Zappos headquarters where they’ll ask questions of Tony Hsieh, the 35-year-old Harvard grad and CEO of Zappos.com that in 2008 grossed over 1 billion in sales by focusing on company-wide customer service.

The program is priced at $7,995 per person and includes deluxe accommodations (single occupancy), most meals, Air Combat Experience, VIP nightlife, Breakthrough Business Sessions, and private tour of Zappos.com headquarters.  For more info go to: http://www.maverickbusinessadventures.com/skysthelimit/

A component of every MBA outing (several are held each year) is a pay-it-forward focus on aspiring entrepreneurs. The Young Entrepreneurs session on Nov 7 will involve Maverick members discussing pertinent issues, filmed and broadcast live to high schools and colleges via ustream.tv.  Interested viewers can sign up and watch it on http://www.ustream.tv/channel/maverick-entrepreneur-succe...

As MBA founder Yanik Silver explains, “Nobody looks back on their life and wishes they had spent more time at the office. Your life is quite literally the sum of your experiences. A collection of rich experiences equals a rich life. MBA adventures such as this are a chance to create the kind of memories and friendships that will stay with you forever!”

Sandwiched in-between flying, dining and nightlife will be numerous networking and business building sessions addressing key member-driven topics and issues.

Said one entrepreneur, Mike Filsaime, an online business specialist from New York who has attended previous MBA trips: “The total that I got from meeting just two guys on these trips was worth $283,000 to me. So I think I’m paid from Maverick until the year 2416.”

MBA is structured to be an exclusive group and membership is by-application-only, limited to forward thinking business men and women with proven abilities and success. Silver stresses that the focus is not on corporate team building or motivational development. Instead, members will be invited to join all-inclusive adventure outings that encourage high-level brainstorming and networking.

MBA members are recognized as top performers in their respective professions ranging from Internet marketing pioneers, INC 500 companies, multi-national manufacturers, and heads of financial institutions, to international real estate developers and restaurateurs.
