    Fall is officially here. Use the change in seasons as an opportunity to focus on your professional development.

    For many, fall is traditionally a time of reinvigoration, when entrepreneurs and small business owners “buckle down” after the summer to finish the year productively.  While you’re refocusing efforts in your business consider attending a small business conference, which can give you new perspectives, new knowledge and new connections – all of which you can use to end the year the way you want to.

    Most conferences, whether national, regional or local in scope, offer the kind of amped-up energy and communicating with fellow entrepreneurs that you can’t find anywhere else.  Industry-specific conferences often offer CEUs (Continuing Education Credits) that you need anyway. Larger and more well-established conferences usually have exciting keynote speakers and inspiring awards shows. Small local conferences allow you to meet and get to know fellow business owners you may be able to collaborate with right away.

    Below are a few suggested conferences taking place this fall.  Be sure to thoroughly research the business events taking place in your area, as well as those pertaining to your industry or customer base, so a gem of a conference doesn’t go unnoticed.  And be sure to follow-up with all the awesome connections you make!
