This year, Center of Hope CDC is excited to welcome local entrepreneurs and small businesses to our 5th Annual Small Business Expo, an event designed to connect entrepreneurs with customers, community partners, corporate supporters, and one another.
The Small Business Expo is part of BE3 Program, Center of Hope CDC's business development initiative dedicated to helping entrepreneurs cultivate their business ideas, strengthen their businesses, and pursue their vision for economic growth. The Expo is more than a vending opportunity—it is an opportunity to build relationships, increase visibility, connect with resources, and participate in a broader entrepreneurial community.
Over the past five years, Center of Hope CDC has hosted successful Small Business Expos that have brought together more than 700 attendees, 60 small businesses, 20 corporate partners, and four educational workshops. Through these events, the CDC has worked to create opportunities for entrepreneurs to gain visibility, build relationships, learn, and contribute to the economic vitality of our community.
