Why go to a business expo? As an employee in the non-corporate sector, I did not have a ready answer.
To learn something about local businesses? To network? To get free schwag?
If you think these answers are valid (as I do), head downtown to the Century Center today for the 9th Annual Business Expo After Hours. This event focuses on these aspects, billing itself as "part trade show, part cocktail reception". More than 140 companies participate, ranging from 1st Source Bank to Ziebart (car detailing).
You might run into someone who has an answer to that question you had in the back of your mind. Who can fix my tub? What classes does that new yoga studio offer? Where should I get a car loan? Who can I hire to take care of catering a USC-ND tailgate? Get the answers to those types of questions by stopping by tonight. The relaxed atmosphere of an 'after-hours' event takes away the intimidating business-minded attitude of other expos. Enjoy live music and free food while you mingle and look at new products and solutions.
Where: Century Center, 120 S. St. Joseph Street
When: Today, 4:00 - 7:30 PM
Cost: Free! A business card is all that is needed for admission.
