San Luis entrepreneurs and small business hopefuls, it's time to mark your calendars and prep your pitches – the Small Business Resource Fair is back in town. Set for today from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., the fair will call the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center at 1015 N. Main Street, San Luis, AZ, its home for the day. According to the City of San Luis Economic Development Department, which is spearheading the event, this is an essential gathering for anyone looking to connect, collaborate and escalate their commercial game.
Resources will be plentiful at the fair, offering business counseling, mentoring, marketing and social media wizardry, workforce development and financial analysis, while on-site business registration with the City of San Luis will be up for grabs for those ready to make it official. Amidst the offerings and as a major event feature, the city will hail the first graduating class of the Fuerza Local San Luis Business Accelerator Program, an intensive training scheme built to ramp up small business prowess in the area.
"The Small Business Resource Fair is a cornerstone initiative to strengthen our local economy by empowering business leaders with the tools and support they need to thrive," Armando Esparza, Director of Economic Development and Government and Foreign Affairs, said, as per the city's announcement.
