Business owners in Ohio can use the state’s growing business community to their advantage when pursuing new resources and expanding. This August brings a new conference to the Buckeye State, in the form of the Ohio Municipalities Business Conference & Expo in Columbus. According to the description on the official City of Columbus website, this is the first event, with 1,000 expected attendees, although it is based off of a previous event centered around the mayor.
According to this source, the “early bird” registration period continues until July 12 and offers possible attendees a chance to register at a slightly lower fee. Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther will host the event at the Greater Columbus Convention Center over the course of two days, August 2 and 3. The event will also specifically address minority and women-owned businesses, and include workshops on topics such as business uncertainty and amassing enough funding to grow.
“The event will specifically address minority and women-owned businesses.”
Mayor Ginther announced open registration for the event on June 21. In a statement, he emphasized the novel nature of this conference and what it could do for the business culture of Ohio as a whole.
“This is a great opportunity for municipalities across the state to leverage their buying power for the betterment of our small and entrepreneurial business communities, which we know are drivers of our economic growth,” he remarked. “Columbus is happy to be the host for this first-of-its kind event.”
