3. Introducing the "one-for-all" Small Business Classroom pass

Small Business Classroom is one of the four programs for the NY Business Expo 2012. It offers excellent resources to help business owners become more skillful with social media, technology, marketing/sales tactics, etc. In the past several weeks, we have announced speakers such as Jeff Bussgang, John Frankel, Peter Shankman, etc. Since the two-day expo will include up to 32 different sessions, we still have a lot of unannounced speakers. However, for those of you who are determined to take your business to the next level by learning and connecting via this program, we have designed an "one-for-all" buffet pass ($100 for 32 workshops) that allows you to attend as many workshops as you want during the two-day expo. To purchase this pass, click here.
