Small Business Festival Information

Small Business Festival is an annual event that celebrates Small Business owners and Entrepreneurs. Recognizing that we are the backbone of our economy, the Small Business Festival spotlights, educates, celebrates and inspires the great people who start, manage and work in small businesses. The investors and founders of start-up enterprises and service firms are part of the fabric of our economy. We respect and support store front businesses, the solo-entrepreneurs and all kinds of businesses who are working to grow big. We launch our annual event in November during Global Entrepreneur Week, and hold both Community and Premium events during national Small Business Week during the first week of May. We feature workshops, presentations and talks from successful business and Thought leaders, both industry experts and everyday people who can teach and inspire business owners and their employees about the wide range of business disciplines from accounting and business formation to digital marketing, networking and coaching. We are in private / public partnership with the City of Austin's Economic Development Dept, the Governor's Economic Development dept. and many civic organizations such as the Chambers of Commerce and independent Business Associations where we work together to support business owners and Entrepreneurs.
