What’s in it for you to attend the seventh annual Best2SMB event October 9-10? Simple: networking, networking, networking.
Once again, we gather Senior Leaders who share the path of winning, keeping and growing Small Business Customers at scale. We gather to learn, to share and to simply get smarter about our critical work. And we celebrate the most admired and most successful players in the $500Bil Business-to-Small-Business Marketplace.
We continue the theme of our recent Leaders’ Forum in Sonoma, “The New Sell” to SMBs, but with a special emphasis on AI.
Simply put: can we collectively turn SMBs into AI Superheroes?
Combining keynotes from Best2SMB Nominees with frequent, small-sided breakouts, we’ll maintain our intimate atmosphere for maximum connectivity between attendees. We’ll make sharing easy, from playbooks to case studies, research, insights, challenges, empathy! breakouts and “shared wisdom” on what closes the deal now.
So it’s not too early to save your spot at our top-to-top networking and strategy exchange for Senior B2SMB Execs.
