SCORE: OLYMPIC GROWTH PLAYBOOK: HOW SMALL BUSINESSES CAN SCALE WITH PROVEN STRATEGIES
September 30 @ 2:00 pm
This event is not about procurement. Major global events such as the Olympics, World Cup and national conferences bring massive opportunities for small businesses in Southern California and the U.S. The challenge? Most business owners don’t have a playbook for capturing that growth. In this NO-COST workshop, Ines Nasri, a Forbes Business Council member, recognized business mentor, educator and speaker, will share practical strategies to help small businesses prepare, position and profit during these high-visibility moments. This is not about hype; it’s about actionable steps to ensure your business is ready to attract customers when the spotlight shines on your city, industry or region.
