2016 Small Business Academy Dec 13
 

Tuesday Dec. 13 8AM - 1PM

We know that a small business owner's time is precious. So attending a conference has to deliver on value. That's why business development stakeholders in Wisconsin created the Small Business Academy.

It is designed for existing businesses, startups and those just at the planning or exploration stage.

You will hear from business experts and also share insights with other business owners and entrepreneurs.

Overview
A light continental breakfast is served in the morning during networking and registration.

After a brief welcome, speakers will present an overview of the resources available, followed by breakout round tables where you can ask questions on specific topics and share experiences with other participants. Resource booths with lenders and business resources will be open for specific questions.

Below is the detailed agenda, and remember - the Small Business Academy is FREE!
