Otto’s Pizza founders to deliver keynote at Mainebiz’s Momentum Convention
Mike Keon and Anthony Allen, co-owners of Portland-based Otto’s Pizza, will be the keynote speakers at Mainebiz’s Momentum Convention on Nov. 10 at the Augusta Civic Center.
Keon and Allen, who founded Otto’s Pizza in 2009, will be speaking about the convention’s theme of “managing growth” and will share their experiences in building a pizza chain with 10 locations in Maine and Massachusetts.
On their company website they state: “It takes more than a good idea to turn out extraordinary food. It takes teamwork, and [we] have sought out the best people to join [our] team. Each member shares our vision of consistently well-executed, uncomplicated food.”
Otto’s Pizza recently was selected by Yelp as one of 100 “top-rated businesses” in America and is the only Maine business invited to Yelp’s San Francisco headquarters on Nov. 4-5 to participate in its “Coast-To-Coast: Coming Together Because We Mean Business” conference.
The Momentum Convention offers a day full of learning, networking and inspiration that will help give any Maine business the momentum it needs to reach the next level. In addition to networking opportunities, the convention features three “Mainebiz U” sessions, which will give participants the opportunity to learn from Maine CEOs via an interactive panel discussion format. Each session will offer speakers leading discussions on “profit, people and process.”
