For three days, entrepreneurs, small business owners, and nonprofit leaders can attend workshops and presentations designed to help them start, strengthen, and grow their organizations. The event offers a wide range of sessions covering critical business topics... for free!
The sessions will cover everything from marketing and branding to finance and legal considerations. You can learn to create professional marketing visuals with just a smartphone, understand how to effectively engage with Gen Z, or leverage social media platforms beyond the "big three." Other sessions focus on building a strong brand, podcasting for business growth, and using industry databases to find new customers.
For those looking to build a business that lasts, there are sessions on strategic planning, like the "Seven Steps to Take Before You Go All In" workshop and a guide to crafting a business model and plan. The event also offers insights into modern business practices, including leveraging AI for efficiency, protecting your content in the age of AI, and using cloud accounting tools.
Nonprofit leaders will find sessions specifically tailored to their needs, such as a realistic guide to starting a nonprofit, strategies for cultivating lifelong donors, and methods for recruiting and retaining volunteers. Other topics include navigating uncertainty, understanding grant readiness, and learning how to apply for business certifications and funding.
Finally, the event will provide practical, hands-on advice on subjects like video production, public speaking, and using tools like Canva and Cricut to create business products.
