The theme for this year’s Business Day Conference is “Go Green To Make Green” and will feature keynote speaker, Francesco Rulli, President of Film Annex, an online independent film distribution platform and Web TV Network which allows filmmakers to create free videos and present them in a fashion that turns their name, company, or project into a brand itself.
