Small business owners and their employees will be taking some time off this Memorial Day weekend. But early June holds some big activity on the events front.
In the first week of June, events in Minneapolis, New York and Chicago are on tap as well as some other events.
Summer vacation doesn’t mean the end of big events you may want to attend either.
For example, later in June, small businesses will be highlighted in the DREAM BIG Small Business of the Year Award event June 14, 2016 in Washington D.C. And on August 27, the Small Business Market Expo & Job Fair will be happening in Atlanta.
