This weekend on an all-new Black Enterprise Business Report, host Caroline V. Clarke is on location at the 2012 Black Enterprise Entrepreneurs Conference hosted by Nationwide Insurance, the three-day power convention which brings together more than 1,200 of the country’s leading entrepreneurs and corporate executives.
