At the BBBC, more than 200 veteran and military spouse business owners will connect for a choreographed experience that includes professionally curated business-to-business networking opportunities, a small business marketplace, and an entrepreneur training symposium designed to increase AWARENESS and facilitate ACCESS to entrepreneurial development resources that inspire ACTION leading to military connected business formation, growth, or recovery.
On Thursday, Oct 5th, there will be a Small Business Marketplace and Resource Fair where veteran and military spouse businesses will showcase their products and services alongside resource partners.
