“There will be automotive aftermarket brands such as Meineke Car Care Centers, privately held staffing firm Express Employment Professionals, new and hot concepts like Bottle & Bottega (wine and art) and Hypoxi (a studio for weight loss via a new European method), and the ever popular food concepts like Submarina California Subs and Papa Murphy’s. Attendees can visit a range of exhibitors that suit their career backgrounds, interests and lifestyles. Not to mention, attendees can speak with top executives at big brands and take advantage of free informational seminars, as well as participate in great giveaways,” MFV Expositions President Tom Portesy said.

“We had a great run hosting WCFE in Los Angeles for 8 years – but it’s important to keep the Expo fresh and continue to attract new visitors ready to start their own businesses. In September 2010, as the economy began to recover, Orange County became the first metropolitan area in the state to post positive year over-year job growth. The county currently has the lowest unemployment rate in Southern California. Orange County’s economy will continue to expand in 2012 with all major private industry sectors adding jobs.

We’re excited about bringing the event to Anaheim and contribute to the growth of small business in California and throughout the west”, said Tom Portesy, president & CEO of MFV Expositions, the producers of WCFE.
