  1. Great event to be taken place, hope majority of small business owners or entrepreneurs should participate to get the learning, as its usage can be made in the later part of life.

  2. Wow that convention will surely have lots of different small business owners that you can meet and learn from. I am always happy to see events like these as it strengthens the small business community.

  3. The birthday bash/women awards ceremony in Texas looks good. The women’s conference in Chicago as well.
