The Home-Based Business Conference and related Lunch & Learn Series began as programs of the York County Economic Development Office, in partnership with the York County Chamber of Commerce.
York Chamber & County representatives learned that two-thirds of York County’s businesses are Home-based, a trend that is growing both locally and nationally. In an effort to assist this often overlooked, yet very important, sector of our local community, the Home-Based Business Assistance Program was developed, with the Conference and Lunch & Learn Series at the core.
Since the programs’ inception in 2014, several other nearby localities, including the cities of Newport News, Hampton and Williamsburg and James City County, have joined together to co-host the Conference and Lunch & Learn Series. This strategic partnership allows the Home-based events to reach and assist more local business owners.
Join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Chase for Business, on May 6 as we welcome growth-focused business owners from across the state for a half-day program. Together, we’ll build ideas and share actionable insight to some of the most vexing challenges in business. Across the last three years, we’ve embarked on a national tour to listen to small businesses at every stage of their growth, and we are excited to bring those best practices, ideas, and inspirations to the CO— stage in New Orleans for the first time.
Through mainstage presentations, interactive breakout sessions, and dedicated networking opportunities, you’ll collect tips and tangible learning to bring back to your own business.
