You are invited to join WHYY News and Bridging Blocks for a business card exchange and networking featuring small business owners, start-up founders, and finance experts to learn how to launch, grow, and improve businesses.
This meet-n-greet is designed for small businesses, B2B vendors and business-support organizations to gain an overview of the current state of small businesses in Philadelphia. Together, we will discuss the challenges, rewards and opportunities for Philly’s start-ups and small businesses with less than 50 employees.
Learn from diverse experts. Bring your business cards and/or add your digital card to our virtual fishbowl and expand your network.
WHYY News Reporter Kristen Mosbrucker-Garza will provide news coverage tips and newsroom editors will present on how to get your story told.
