Small Biz Big Things Hosts Seth Godin in NYC
September 17, 2013, New York, NY
Join us at Small Biz Big Things in New York City for an evening of learning, networking, fun and discussion as we explore how small business owners can do very big things through innovation.
The way we work and play has changed. Big companies who have not innovated have failed. Small companies who have innovated are thriving.
Laggard companies are being crushed. Companies who can strategically innovate are being created and growing.
Will your business thrive? Will it survive?
Seth Godin will do a rare Q&A session, answering your burning questions about small business, marketing and doing work that matters.
Carly Strife, of Barkbox (and previously with Uber) will present her real life, hands on experiences, and best practices in how small companies can profitably innovate and grow in the midst of challenging market forces and intense competition.

Wish I could be there. I think Seth is rather cool. He’s an interesting thinker.
I wonder if the Q & A’s going to be recorded and made available. I’d be interested in watching it.
I would love to attend WomanCon. I’ll bet I could pick up a lot of great advice on the intricacies of marketing to women. That’s a tough thing to do.
Hurray for the Small Biz event. Seth Godin is cool for a reason – he comes up with unique ideas that makes sense. You can really learn a lot from this man and I think an event would be the perfect venue to change people’s lives.
As much as I’d love to be there, Aira, I think I’d be too excited to concentrate on anything anyone had to say at that event with Seth! It would therefore be more productive for me to just watch the video of it should it become available. 🙂
