SMALL GIANT SUMMIT
a Small Business summit presented by Erie Mutual Insurance
How to grow a successful small business... be the best, not the biggest!!
Contrary to popular belief, bigger doesn’t always mean better, especially when it comes to business.
Our inaugural small business summit, organized by Erie Mutual Insurance, is going to be the place where individuals who manage or own small- to medium-sized businesses can learn from others, network with colleagues, and gain valuable insight from the successful professionals who have been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale.
OCTOBER 20, 2017
BETHANY COMMUNITY CHURCH
1388 Third Street, St. Catharines, Ontario, L2R 6P9
Registration check-in 8:00 - 9:00am
If you’re a small business owner, you probably know you can’t pick a fight with the world’s biggest conglomerates and expect to win (but if that’s in your long-term business plan, we fully support that vision!). For most of us, it’s not so much about being the biggest giant in our market - it’s about being the ultimate leader of the product or service we offer our customers.
“Become A Small Giant” is about giving you the platform and confidence you need to focus on being the best at what you do and how to promote healthy, sustainable growth as you continue your climb to becoming a small giant within your industry.
We’ve also planned networking breaks, during which we highly encourage you to visit with our exhibitors, sponsors and speakers who will be more than happy to share their experiences and knowledge to help answer questions, in addition to offering solutions to everyday business challenges.
Our guest speakers will share their expert knowledge on topics including:
THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA
