It is Business...Just Business! -- Upcoming Small Business Programs, Conferences, and Events in the DMV -- Vol. 2

Happy Thursday!

Since I *think* I have my Tuesday "Upcoming DMV Weekend Events" posts rolling along, I want to dedicate Thursday to events/conferences/classes/vending opportunities/etc for the Small Business owners.

As you may have picked up, I love small business!  My granddad was a small business owner in the south and while his businesses had closed before I was born, his entrepreneurial spirit lives on through his grandchildren.

So, Small Business Owners, Thursday is dedicated to you!

Here's what I have for you!
