Here’s what attendees said about our last virtual conference:

• “You offer so many resources in so many different areas of business.  Anyone would appreciate this – as new information or a refresher – very useful to everyone!”
• “It is obvious that SCORE and sponsors believe that small businesses and their owners are important because great detail has been used to plan this conference to meet the needs of small business owners.”
• “Great setup for small businesses that work from home that don’t always have money to travel to conferences.”
• “For the first time, with respect to my young business and start-up ideas, I feel educated, enlightened and more courageous than fearful about proceeding with my dreams. Thank you very much!!!”
• “It’s been 3 years since my last official business classes and this was…about 1000% more information.”
• “This is a great resource for help with your business as well as networking all rolled into one.”
• “The type of expert knowledge that was offered during this virtual conference for free generally comes at a high cost. For new start-ups, “free” and “expertise” don’t go hand-in-hand. I am beyond thrilled I attended.”
• “I believe the presentations were extremely helpful for small business owners. SCORE goes the extra mile to help businesses succeed.”
