On Feb. 9, 2021, the St. Catharines Enterprise Centre (SCEC) and the Niagara Falls Small Business Enterprise Centre will bring together leading business professionals and the most resilient small business owners in Niagara to explore current shifts in business practices and marketing strategies.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to noon and is free to attend.
Participants will hear from Inspired Strategy Group’s Jessica Potts, author of Best Day Ever: Uncovering Your Strengths & Discovering Your Passion. Potts’ presentation will help business owners and leaders revive and thrive in 2021 by proceeding with clarity, confidence and courage.
