The San Joaquin County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (SJCHCC) and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) will partner to host the 2015 Small Business & Entrepreneurial Expo on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 on the campus of San Joaquin Delta College inside Danner Hall, in Stockton, California. The event will begin at 1:00pm with a Business to Business Expo, business workshops and raffle prizes for attendees. The event presents a valuable opportunity for small business owners and those considering starting a business to learn more about how to access capital and financially prepare their businesses for success.
“Providing information to our members about the many local economic incentive programs that provide low-cost or free capital to businesses in San Joaquin County is a priority for our Chamber” said Brenna Butler Garcia, CEO of the SJCHCC, “The Small Business & Entrepreneurial Expo will also focus on grass roots marketing strategies for small businesses and what aspiring entrepreneurs need to consider when starting a business.” Nate McBride, Director of the SBDC said, “Hosting the event on the campus of San Joaquin Delta College was a fantastic way for us to encourage young entrepreneurs who may be graduating from college and considering starting their own businesses here in Stockton”.
Workshop sessions will focus on the buying power of the Hispanic demographic and how to market your business through Latino-based media forums, a business regulatory checklist session and funding sources for entrepreneurs. San Joaquin Delta College is the premier sponsor for the event and attendees can register for FREE online. Exhibit booths and sponsorships are available by contacting the SJCHCC office.
