    • Small Business

    The SISO Small Business Roundtable is a “share-a-thon” where owners of smaller, for-profit event companies share best practices, discuss emerging industry challenges, and address problems specific to small businesses.

    It is an open platform for honest, frank discussion, built on the idea that the rising tide lifts all boats.
    For many small business owners, the SBR is like meeting with an informal board of advisors, and participation in it often launches relationships or builds networks that members turn to repeatedly, throughout the year.

    While the program will include a discussion of specific, individual problems and needs, we will also focus on several broad topics, including:

    • Benchmarking: Hear from your peers and colleagues about how they allocate resources and how their events perform as a result of those decisions.
    • Growth-hacking:  How inexpensive, off-the-shelf tech tools can improve workflow automations, lead generation, and profitability, as well as AI solutions in sales, marketing, and operations.
    • Revenue Innovation: A structured look at steps to unlock opportunities to grow revenue that may be buried in current events.


    And an Ask Us ‘ANYthing’ session to address your most pressing problem!

    See you there. It will not be the same without you. Literally.

    Lunch Included.

    • Women's Leadership

    One of the most challenging steps in any acquisition process is after the deal closes, bringing in an entirely new company to an existing structure and culture. It takes a high level of Emotional Intelligence to lead an integration, especially when it involves ensuring the people feel like they truly are being taken care of in their new home. Closerstill’s Yancy Weinrich will lead this session and talk with others who have led this important experience.

    • Women's Leadership
    Liaising with entrepreneurs and walking them through an acquisition journey takes a certain level of Emotional Intelligence to truly consummate a deal that’s considered a success for all sides. We’ll hear from industry professionals about what personal skills they have found to be most successful that have helped them in the M&A dealmaking world.
