There’s a new administration in Trenton and a new opportunity to serve the needs of the business community throughout the tri-state area. Planning for the 18th annual Trenton Small Business Week is well under way, and the program is bigger and better than ever.
Entrepreneurs, new business owners, small business owners, corporate executives, career and industry changers and virtually anyone working or exploring business opportunities in the area should plan to attend. Participants can attend free seminars, learn about procurement opportunities, meet state-of-the-art vendors and network with other business owners and executives. Last year over 5000 people came to Trenton during this week.
There are numerous workshops and seminars and many special events for all to enjoy. We start things off with the Opening Kick-Off Breakfast and the annual Mayor’s Awards. In addition, the week will include the Mercer Regional Chamber of Commerce Power Luncheon and Expo, a networking reception hosted by TD Bank, and the annual Renaissance Ball of Trenton.
“The Capital City is proud to host this prestigious event. The quality and range of the programs throughout this week are top-notch and among the best business training opportunities available anywhere” states Mayor Tony Mack.
