The Santa Cruz Micro Business Summit comes to Aptos this April 22nd!
According to Barbara Mason, 82% of the businesses in Santa Cruz County have 9 or fewer employees. That’s 82% of over 14,000 businesses!!! The Santa Cruz County Office for Economic Development wants to help businesses thrive and grow and stay in our county. At the behest of the Board of Supervisors, the Office for Economic Development is planning a business education summit day.
There will be no vendor booths – just classes with great topics and outstanding speakers. The county’s ROP Digital Arts program will be filming every speaker, so if there are two great topics during the same time period, you will be able to watch one live and the other on a computer later from the comfort of your own home or device. You can choose to see all 24 education sessions and the keynote speaker, Kent Burnes, who is a nationally recognized speaker and consultant for small business.
This event has a long list of sponsors, including PG&E, PayPal, SCORE, Santa Cruz Sentinel, Central Coast SBDC, Lighthouse Bank, Bay Federal Credit Union, KSCO, with many more, and more signing up daily.
Tickets to the event are $49 and can be purchased here. They have also set up a Facebook page for the event as well which gives greater detail on what the various speakers will be presenting on.
