Works
today
announced
they
are
collaborating
on
the
upcoming
“eProvStudio’s
Global
Summit
Series
on
Senior

Multi-­‐Generational
Entrepreneurship:
2015,”
to
be
held
in
10
international
cities.
At
the
Summit
Series,
which
kicked-­‐off
yesterday
in
Dublin,
Ireland,
attendees
advance
policy
and
legislation
that
supports
access
to
jobs,
capital
for
business
start-­‐ups
and
acquisitions,
and
overall
economic
vitality
of
the
“Experienced
Economy”
(people
50+)
community
instead
of
the
traditional
move
to
retirement.
Leaders
from
government,
banking,
microfinance,
business,
education,
foundations,
non-­‐profits,
and
public
policy
sectors
outline
new
steps
to
catalyze
research,
programs,
and
policies
to

will
screen
THE
SECOND
BEST
EXOTIC
MARIGOLD
HOTEL,
releasing
in
the
UK
on
February
27,
2015
and
the
U.S.
on
March
6,
2015,
an
example
of
how
the
young
and
the
“young
at
heart”
can
support
each
other
to
create
dramatic
social
and
economic
change.
Commenting
on
the
announcement,
Elizabeth
Isele,
eProvstudio’s
co-­‐founder
and
president
said,
“The
goal
of
the
series
is
to
encourage
governments
and
the
private
sector
to
recognize
the
economic
significance
of
the
50+
demographic.
More
than
half
of
all
U.S.
small
business
owners
are
over-­‐fifty,
and
people
55-­‐64
have
the
highest
rate
of
entrepreneurial
activity
of
any
age
group.
eProvStudio
and
Senior
Entrepreneurship
Works
are
thrilled
to
team
with
Participant
Media
to
be
some
of
the
first
to
see
THE
SECOND
BEST
EXOTIC
MARIGOLD
HOTEL,
an
entertaining
and
illuminating
example
of
the
pivotal
role
that
the
over-­‐fifty
demographic
can
play
in
our
global
economy.”

About
The
Second
Best
Exotic
Marigold
Hotel
Now
that
The
Best
Exotic
Marigold
Hotel
is
full
up
with
its
long-­‐term
residents,
co-­‐
managers
Muriel
Donnelly
(Maggie
Smith)
and
Sonny
Kapoor
(Dev
Patel)
have
a
dream
of
expansion,
and
they’ve
found
just
the
place:
The
Second
Best
Exotic
Marigold
Hotel.
With
plans
underway,
Evelyn
and
Douglas
(Judi
Dench
and
Bill
Nighy)
venture
into
the
Jaipur
workforce,
wondering
where
their
regular
breakfast
dates
will
lead.
Meanwhile,
Norman
and
Carol
(Ronald
Pickup
and
Diana
Hardcastle)
navigate
the
swirling
waters
of
an
exclusive
relationship,
as
Madge
(Celia
Imrie)
juggles
two
very
eligible
suitors,
and
recent
arrival
Guy
Chambers
(Richard
Gere)
finds
a
muse
in
Sonny’s
mother,
Mrs.
Kapoor
(Lillete
Dubey)
for
his
next
novel.
As
his
marriage
to
Sunaina
(Tina
Desai),
the
love
of
his
life,
quickly
approaches,
Sonny
finds
his
plans
for
the
new
hotel
making
more
claims
on
his
time
than
he
has
available.
Perhaps
the
only
one
who
may
know
the
answers
is
Muriel,
the
keeper
of
everyone’s
secrets.
As
the
big
day
nears,
family
and
guests
alike
find
themselves
swept
up
in
the
irresistible
intoxication
of
an
Indian
wedding.
