OUR AGENDA: THE NEW SELL
What we began in Sonoma in May, we continue to examine today. Citing a recent survey from Alignable of over 1500 SMBs, Dave Walker lays down the numbers of AI acceptance and perceived value amongst Small Businesses. We tee-up the substance of our entire agenda: "The New Sell" - and the role of AI - in the $500Bil SMB marketplace.

INTRODUCTION: THE SMALL BUSINESS PRODUCTIVITY EXPO
B2SMBI's Dave Walker joins our Business School Guests and Magic Szcesniak to introduce our most significant 2025 initiative - an exclusive partnership with major Business Schools around the US. Planned across 12 different campuses throughout the year, B2SMBI will host live events of between 300-500 SMBs each to offer a serious productivity upgrade. This single day event features a morning of SME keynotes and panels, and an afternoon filled with small-sided workshops delivered by Faculty and B2SMBI-Member leads, and facilitated by B-Schools Graduate Students.
