BiG Ideas!


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!

What's BiG Idea day?  I'm glad you asked!  As BiG austin's site says:

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!
