About the Small Business Events

The events offer a great opportunity to network with other businesses and experts, and learn about key resources that may be available to support business growth. The events are shaped by feedback from attendees, and are uniquely tailored by our local partners, which include regional, state and federal agencies. To find out more about what these events have to offer, see our most recent event agenda. All our events offer excellent networking opportunities, access to subject matter experts and an opportunity to talk to regional, state and federal agencies that offer support and resources to start-ups and existing businesses. These agencies also share information about their own procurement needs. All of our events include panel discussions on key business issues, with expert panelists providing timely, relevant and actionable advice, and allowing time for audience Q&A.
