Sessions will cover a wide range of topics including pathways to financial resources, technology tools and business organization and marketing, allowing you to create a personalized learning experience.
What participants have said about the Disability Owned Convening…
“I had no idea there were so many people who experience disabilities, some fairly significant and closer to mine, who were business owners! Thank you, guys, for putting that on! It left me wanting more.”
“I’ll be honest, I couldn’t stop listening! Excellent resources and speakers!”
“I was extremely intimidated about starting a business with the intense health challenges I have been facing… After watching the sessions, my hope was rekindled that I too can succeed as a small business person.”
“Great information. Many of us have ideas for a small business, but most of the time they stay just ideas. We don’t always know all the things that need to be considered before starting a business, which is why many of us fail or don’t start at all. This really focused on the important aspects and great strategies.”
