November 1-3

Our 2023 conference theme is “Strengthening Community & Building Opportunity,” highlighting how promoting community control, ownership, and identity are central to creating opportunities for small business growth and sustainability in BIPOC and immigrant communities. We’ll focus on ways to invest in neighborhoods that allow residents, workers, and small business owners access to a range of social, educational, economic, and other opportunities while remaining in place. Join us!
