Join us on the University of Pennsylvania's Philadelphia campus for a day of panels, discussions, and workshops designed to support and empower Philadelphia’s small and medium-sized businesses. The agenda is available HERE.

Together, we’ll explore critical topics, including:

  • Navigating today’s complex small business landscape
  • Leveraging technology for growth and efficiency
  • Accessing funding and capital to fuel your business
  • Partnering with communities to enhance small business safety

You’ll hear from Former Mayor of Philadelphia Michael Nutter, CEO of TaskRabbit Ania Smith, and Former Deputy Administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration Dilawar Syed, along with fellow small business leaders, and senior executives from corporate and academic institutions, as we engage in meaningful conversations about the current and future state of our business community.

Space is limited—secure your spot today!

This workshop is a free event and open to the public. Please find the University of Pennsylvania’s Nondiscrimination Statement here.
