Small Business Expo Announces New Los Angeles Trade Show, Scheduled for November 8

Sept. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- (New York, NY) -- Small Business Expo has recently extended its business networking events to Los Angeles, with a new trade show scheduled there on November 8, 2012. Available online at http://www.TheSmallBusinessExpo.com, the production company prides itself on offering experiences that are fun and enjoyable for attendees, and looks forward to bringing its unique brand of networking to the West Coast.

“Our goal at Small Business Expo is to create a fun environment in which to network, something vastly different from the typical boring trade show. At our NYC events, we put dancing businesspeople in the windows overlooking the street entrance to ensure that all our participants enter the expo in a great mood. In LA, the dancers will be stationed right in the lobby to greet people as they arrive. We’re hoping that a sense of camaraderie and fun will permeate our Los Angeles show as it does at all our business networking events,” said Zachary Lezberg, producer of Small Business Expo’s upcoming Los Angeles trade show.

The Los Angeles trade show is sponsored by Powerteam International (the Presenting Platinum Sponsor), Emerge212, Go Daddy, and Zoho (Platinum Sponsors); Act-On Software, Customer Focus, CRE, Herman Miller, Kinetic Lighting, Skype, Smartpress.com, Verizon, Wells Fargo, and Yelp (Gold Sponsors); and Deal Mint by eBay, Epson, IDCreator.com, Kennedy Wealth Management, Keyword Search Pros, and Security America (Silver Sponsors). Small Business Expo Los Angeles will take place at the California Market Center on Thursday, November 8, 2012 from 10 AM to 5 PM. The day will consist of over thirty workshops followed by a 90-minute VIP keynote talk presented by America’s business expert and Presenting Platinum Sponsor, Bill Walsh, CEO of Powerteam International. Topics covered will include essential information for every business owner, from social media marketing and search
optimization to the value of an online presence and branding as well as practical legal and financial tips.

In addition to workshops and the VIP Keynote, the business networking event will offer attendees a variety of ways to connect with other professionals. The conference will be utilizing Presdo Match, created by the cofounder of LinkedIn, to match professionals with other attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors for a more successful show. Those who want to branch out can attend speed-networking sessions, which are designed to work in the same manner as speed-dating. Businesspeople are paired with each other, given three minutes to introduce themselves and exchange business cards, and will move on when the buzzer sounds. At the end of the session, attendees will walk away with an additional 10-15 new contacts.

Those who want to distribute their cards to an even wider array of people can utilize the Business Card Showcase at the business networking event in Los Angeles. Attendees who purchase this option will be able to leave a pile of business cards or small postcards at the showcase for others to pick up. The pile can be replenished periodically to ensure that everyone at the event receives the necessary contact information.

For businesspeople who are looking to relax, Small Business Expo will be offering the Verizon Cafe with food from a local caterer. The business event will also feature the Go Daddy cyber lounge, which provides free internet access and lounge seating for relaxing, more networking or checking emails.
