A Look Back at 2022
Here’s a quick look at the SBM 2022 Conference. Thank you again to our amazing speakers, generous sponsors, and to everyone who joined us. We hope to see everyone back again on May 17, 2024!
On Friday, May 20, the Small Business Matters Conference took place at the City Springs Conference Center in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The theme for this year’s event was Celebrating Small Business, and it was quite a celebration with over 200 registered guests, 10 great speakers, and a surprise visit from one of our country’s forefathers, Ben Franklin.
The cause for the celebration was twofold: First, the Small Business Administration recognized May as National Small Business Month, and second, it was our first opportunity to meet and gather at a large in-person event in over two years.
Speaker presentations touched on several key areas for small business leaders including customer-centricity, understanding your brand, and leadership in uncertain times.
