About this Event
In celebration of National APEX Day, the Small Business Expo is coordinated by the small business programs of Southwestern College, including the San Diego & Imperial Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network, the San Diego, Orange, & Imperial APEX Accelerator, and the San Diego & Imperial Women’s Business Center (WBC).
The Small Business Expo will include panels on steps a small business can take to obtain contract work with different government agencies and other agencies. To get help with lending and contracting, business owners will learn from the SBDC, WBC, and APEX. Small businesses will have a chance to meet with representatives from different government agencies, local lenders, and resource partners.
Join us for an enriching experience filled with light refreshments and a wealth of information, insights, and networking opportunities.
