The Summit is a three-day event designed to encourage, motivate and train small business owners to refine their business practices, identify available resources and align themselves with organizations in their community for mutually beneficial relationships.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with small businesses, market your organization and tap into a network of successful entrepreneurs, business leaders and industry experts from throughout the country. They're all gathering to present and interact on issues specifically related to individual and business development in the following areas:
· Leadership
· Organization
· Sales & Marketing
· Social Media Marketing
· Online Marketing Techniques
· Nonprofit Organizations
· Our Government & Your Business

The Small Business Survival Summit is the result of the small business advocacy work of WebIXI Inc., a small family owned website design company in Harford County, MD. True to the spirit of the event, we are pushing ourselves to think outside of the box and create opportunity through innovation. That said, our program could not have been built without the input of a lot of people from other small businesses, large corporations, non-profit organizations and government agencies.
