Small Business Policy Expo 2019- Washington, D.C.
SBE Council Supports Innovator Entrepreneurs
There’s no better way to support the entrepreneurs that we work with, than being a part of the policy discussions with lawmakers. Idea Buyer founder, Eric Corl, will be on the panel discussing policy changes that need to be made to encourage start up and small business innovation.
Small Business Policy Expo 2019 will feature conversations with leading small business advocates, friends in Congress and the Administration about the state of entrepreneurship and small business growth, and the policies needed to enable both.
Changes on Capitol Hill means new power players, new policy proposals and new strategies for advancing legislation. Where do policies impacting entrepreneurship and small business fit in? SBE Council sees an opportunity for bipartisan action in several key areas. We will discuss the policy tailwinds and headwinds for entrepreneurs and the economy, as well as emerging issues. (See the full program and list of speakers, and check back for regular updates here.)
A “Ready to Launch” reception honoring new Members of the 116th Congress will conclude the day.
