Kick-Off 2021: Small Business Forum

What Small Businesses Need to Know to Start up, Re-Start or Re-Envision in 2021
Small businesses are invited to kick off 2021 with a forum of experts to help your new year get off to a fresh start.
In 2020 we were challenged, and in some cases forced, to adapt and change. In 2021, IECRM is committed to learning how to better harness the power to change with the demographic and economic data you need to do so.

Panelists will include subject matter experts from the Denver Metro SBDC at the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, Wipfli, Fisher Phillips, BOK Financial, the Office of Economic Development, Pinnacol Assurance, and more. Please RSVP, share with colleagues and plan to attend. Register here. 

Save the Date and join us to kick off 2021 with a forum of experts to help your new year get off to a fresh start.
