GrowSmartBiz Conference Renaissance Hotel 999 9th St NW Washington, DC 20001

Join us on Tuesday, September 29, 2009, at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C., for a one-day event featuring renowned small business leaders and well-known industry experts, including keynote speaker Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine and author of The Long Tail and Free.

A critical part of the U.S. economy, small businesses were responsible for more than 40 million jobs and a staggering $6 trillion in revenues in 2008. And, despite the economic downturn, 69 percent of businesses surveyed in the Small Business Success Index (http://www.growsmartbusiness.com/research-library/) – an index designed to measure the overall health of small businesses – made a profit last year. The survey, which was conducted by Network Solutions® and the University of Maryland, also revealed companies that focus on improving in critical areas such as marketing and innovation, and access to capital are more competitive and more profitable. Want to learn more? The GrowSmartBiz Conference will provide you with the information and resources you need to make your business more successful.

Small business owners, entrepreneurs and aspiring CEOs should attend to learn how to overcome challenges that all small businesses face. Through keynote addresses, panel discussions and networking opportunities, attendees will leave the conference with: • Insights into best practices of successful small businesses, • Proven strategies for business growth despite the current economy, • Executable, cost-effective ways to market and promote their businesses, • Knowledge of what banks believe is the key to securing small business financing, and • Actionable ideas for integrating and leveraging social media into existing marketing and communications efforts
