Biz Buzz ‘Dream Team’ Keynote Speaker Event to Highlight

South Jersey and Philly Biz Buzz

Inaugural Business On-Demand 2010: Biz Buzz Conference and Expo

 

Philadelphia Flyers’ legends, Bernie Parent and Brian Propp, along with

former Kansas City Chief Joe Valerio, will be keynote speakers at two-day event April 21-22

 

Cherry Hill, NJ – March 31, 2010 – Biz Buzz – The Delaware Valley’s networking and business support resource – will host the first ever Business On-Demand 2010: Biz Buzz Conference and Expo Wednesday, April 21 and Thursday, April 22 at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, NJ.

 

The highlight of this year’s Business On-Demand 2010: Biz Buzz Conference and Expo will be the dynamic ‘Dream Team’ keynote speaker address featuring Philadelphia Flyers’ legends, Bernie Parent and Brian Propp, and former Kansas City Chief Joe Valerio – three former professional sports stars who are now successful business men. The keynote speaker address will take place on Thursday, April 22 from 3:30-4:30 p.m.

 

The first of Biz Buzz’s ‘Dream Team’ is Bernie Parent, clutch goaltender on the Philadelphia Flyers’ championship teams in the ‘70s. Parent and his teammates won the Stanley Cup twice in a row, in 1974 and 1975. In both seasons, Parent won the Vezina Trophy as best goalie and the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. Parent’s remarkable career was cut-short after an on-ice accident at the age of 34, forcing the phenom to retire early.

 

After remaining with the Flyers for many years as a goaltending coach, Parent formed the successful company, PowerPlay Financial, LLC. The company’s main focus is to help business owners and individuals insure that their financial matters are in order by offering Personal, Estate and Business Succession Planning; disability insurance; and company employer/employee benefits.

 

Biz Buzz’s second superstar speaker of its ‘Dream Team’ is Brian Propp, a Philadelphia Flyer Hall of Famer who played 15 years in the NHL. Propp played in five Stanley Cup Finals and Five All Star Games during his career and is still the top left wing scorer in NHL Playoff History.

 

After retiring, Propp worked as a Philadelphia Flyers Radio Color Analyst for nine years. He now works for The Judge Group as the company’s VP of Strategic Account Management.

 

The final member of Biz Buzz’s ‘Dream Team’ keynote lineup is Joe Valerio, former offensive lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs and current Vice President and Managing Director of Wells Fargo Insurance Services Philadelphia.

 

Prior to joining the insurance industry, Valerio had a six-year career with the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs. He started at every position on the offensive line, including tight end. As an offensive lineman, Valerio caught an NFL-record four touchdown passes, three from NFL legend – Joe Montana.

 

Upon retiring from the NFL, Valerio spent ten years with two of the world’s largest insurance brokerages, where, most recently, he was in a service leadership and management role in the Northeast region, before joining Wells Fargo.

 

In his management position with Wells Fargo, Valerio is responsible for overall growth, as well as implementation of Wells Fargo’s strategic goals and objectives for the Philadelphia area. His main objective is to ensure that all of the Wells Fargo clients’ needs are met that that the clients’ expectations for brokerage services are exceeded.
