One of the most difficult parts of being an entrepreneur is figuring out How to do things.  It’s not the What, it truly is the How.  Believe it or not the How is what’s critical to business success.  That’s why we have created the “How2Conference: The Premier Conference for Small Businesses”.  Each month we will offer a different workshop to lift your company to higher heights.  Our purpose is to educate, empower and connect Small Businesses.

If you are in need of certification: MDOT, 8a, 8M, WBENC or WOSB, then you have come to the right place.  Having the right certification can open doors that will allow you to bid and/or partner with major companies.  You may even have the opportunity to become a Prime on a contract.  Having the right certification sends a clear message that you have taken the extra steps to make your company stand out.

Get the information you need to begin or finish your certification right here at the How2Conference: Small Business Certification Day!

Who Should Attend?

These workshops are designed for those companies interested in corporate, commercial or government contracting, and those companies who would like to begin or complete their certifications.   It is additionally helpful for recent college and business school graduates who are interested in becoming an entrepreneur.

These are in-depth certification workshops led by some of the industries experts.   These interactive sessions will explain the basics of MDOT, SBA, WBENC and WOSB certifications.  Curious? Have you started a certification but got “stuck” along the way? No worries, we’ve got all that you need at the May How2Conference.  We have even called this month’s How2Conference – Small Business Certification Day!  Having the correct Small Business Certification  also allows you to compete for contracts that require MBE/DBE participation.
