2019 Business Summit--"Recession Proofing Your Business"
Event Sponsors
Small businesses are the backbone of our community. The St. George Area Chamber of Commerce believes the overall prosperity of our local economy hinges largely on their successes, which is why on June 19 small businesses will converge at the Dixie Convention Center when the Chamber hosts the Small Business Summit and Business Expo.
The Summit will provide the opportunity for small business owners, managers and entrepreneurs to network and learn new tools, tactics and strategies, gain practical skills and make invaluable connections to help support the growth and prosperity of small business in Utah, especially southern Utah.
This-full day conference, sponsored by Innovation Plaza at Dixie State University, will feature keynote speakers and breakout sessions designed to inspire, inform and provide businesses the tools they need to succeed.
Keynote speakers include Amy Anderson Rees and Brad Bonham.
