Three days out, Detroit. The room is set, the partners are in place, and the work starts June 15th.

This Summit is about showing up ready to engage, connecting with people and resources that can move your business forward, and walking away with something real to act on. Five years in, the energy in that room has built real momentum for Detroit's small business community, and this year is no different.

The day moves from a fireside chat honoring the blueprint, into two rounds of breakout sessions covering growth, operations, and capital, with a few surprises (including giveaways) built in before lunch and networking close things out.

Bring your laptop. Bring your questions. Come ready to be in the room.

Many of the concerns business owners have about compliance, don't come up until they're already in the middle of a project or day-to-day operations.

The Corridor Compliance Education Series gives business owners the opportunity to hear directly from City departments, ask questions, and gain a better understanding of the processes and resources available to them.

Registration is open for sessions in Districts 3, 6, and 7. Stay tuned for updates on D4.

One thing to know: you do not have to live or operate in the district hosting the session to attend. While each event is led by that DBL, the City departments, resources, and information shared are relevant to business owners across Detroit.

If you have questions about permits, licensing, zoning, inspections, property maintenance, health requirements, or City resources, these sessions are an opportunity to hear directly from the people who handle them every day.

In two weeks, Detroit's entrepreneurs will be in one room, swapping ideas, making connections, solving problems and getting the tools they need to take the next step in their business journey.

The Small Business Growth Summit is designed for people who are ready to stop saying "one day" and start building what's next. From expert-led sessions to valuable networking opportunities, you'll spend the day learning, connecting and putting together a game plan for growth.
