If you’re looking to meet and mingle with local business owners, the first week in October is for you.
The East Cobb Business Association and the Northeast Cobb Business Association will be holding business expos three days apart.
For business owners, it’s exposure to the public. For the public, it’s a way to learn about who’s behind the scenes at their favorite stores and service providers.
The ECBA Expo is Tuesday, Oct. 7 from 4:30-7 p.m. at Wellstar East Cobb Health Park (3747 Roswell Road) and is in a more streamlined format. Organizers are calling it a “mini” format, with about 20 or so businesses and vendors on hand.
All of those tables have been sold out, but non-exhibitors can still sign up online for $5 at this link. Tickets at the door are $10 (both prices are for ECBA members and non-members).
Two days later, on Thursday, Oct. 7, the Northeast Cobb Business Association Expo will be held from 5-7:30 p.m. at Piedmont Church (570 Piedmont Road).
The format is similar, but admission for the public is free. Among the exhibitors are WorkSource Cobb, the Cobb County government Economic Development office and the Small Business Development Center at KSU.
