Small Business in Focus: Marketing Matters

Small Business in Focus: Marketing Matters

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) (EST)

Description

Empowering Small Businesses for Growth

You're invited to our first Small Business in Focus event, specifically designed to tackle the unique challenges faced by small business owners. This series, developed based on feedback from small business leaders, offers practical solutions, expert insights, and opportunities to forge meaningful connections.

This February, we'll tackle why marketing is non-essential for small business growth. We'll discuss how to maximize impact on a limited budget and share key strategies to help spread the word about your business—locally, regionally, and nationally. Join us for this interactive session at our headquarters at 75 Clinton Square on Tuesday, February 24, from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM.

Event Highlights:

  • Expert Panel Discussion: Hear from leading marketing experts who will share valuable insights tailored specifically for small businesses. Discover effective strategies for branding and marketing that resonate without being intrusive. Stay tuned to meet our expert lineup of panelists coming soon!

  • Moderated Q&A: Engage directly with the panelists during our moderated Q&A session, allowing you to ask your pressing questions and gain personalized feedback.

  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow small business owners and share experiences, fostering a community of learning and support.
