The B2SMB Institute’s Small Business Influencers’ Circle Attending

[tmm name=”featured-influencers”]

#Small2Big – Scaling to Success
in the $500Bil B2SMB Marketspace

If your job depends on successfully winning, keeping and growing Small Business customers at scale, you face the #Small2Big challenge every day.

How do you get from one SMB to many to millions?

The Institute’s largest gathering of the year will bring together hundreds of B2SMB professionals for 2 full days of market-leading insights coupled with extensive networking opportunities, all centered on #Small2Big success stories, “how to” playbooks and actionable insights.  

Our attendees will represent some of the biggest names in B2SMB products and services, alongside new players, best resources, SMB Influencers and segment Investors. You’ll meet fellow C-Suite Execs and front-line practitioners, from Marketers to Operators to Founders – over 70% of last years’ attendees were VP-level and above. Over 90% of attendees to our October 2018 event plan to attend again, excited to meet fellow Business-to-Small-Business leaders who are tackling the demands of #Small2Big.

the B2SMBI Global Conference, click here!

We’ll address the critical challenges and opportunities of our highly-fragmented customer and prospect base – millions of “snowflake” SMBs who often defy description – and how to reach, engage, sell, deliver and keep them. B2SMB peers will address peers on scaleable success with SMBs, opening a dynamic 2-day dialogue on what’s working, and what’s not. From thought-leader keynotes, to best-practice workshops, to proprietary SMB research presentations, attendees can expect to return to their jobs having elevated their game.
