Today I had the pleasure of volunteering some time to
teach a class at BiG Austin on social media platforms and basics through the
eyes of an entrepreneur! BiG Austin is a not-for-profit
agency designed to help small business owners with micro-loans and business
acumen training. What more, they are about to have their "BiG
Idea" day very soon!
BiG Idea day celebrates local
small businesses that have made Austin America’s No.1 “Boom Town” according to
Forbes Magazine. BiG|idea day is the largest annual fundraiser for
BiGAUSTIN with over 300 attendees made up of small business owners, financial institutions,
corporations and community leaders. Attendees have the opportunity to witness
what small business owners are doing to “Keep Austin businesses competitive and
profitable” in today’s marketplace. This event will provide a diverse
arena for businesses to network and share valuable information with all in
attendance while showcasing the finalists of our annual business plan
competitions and shopping with local vendors in the BiGMarketplace.
Here is a recap of BiG Idea day 2011 below. I hope if you are local
and involved in the community, you can join in the celebration and networking!
