What you will learn
This is where business meets innovation. Whether you own or manage an expanding business, the Baltimore Business Growth Symposium will enhance your firm’s capabilities with a robust variety of breakout sessions catering to today’s business climate.
The agenda will feature informative presentations by industry leaders and think-tank entrepreneurs who can address the problems that keep your business from successfully achieving more clients and moving forward. Breakfast & lunch are included with tickets. Speakers include:
- Cassius F. Butts, former Regional Administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Here is workshop titles we have thus far:
· How to Draft Cost and Technical Proposals.
