The 11th Annual Small Business Workshop is set to take place on May 14, 2025, at the iconic The Corner Ballpark – Detroit PAL HQ.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss Out

Hosted by The LEE Group, this annual workshop is a treasure trove of resources for small business owners navigating the ups and downs of the economy. For over a decade, this initiative has proven beneficial for more than 1,000 businesses, making it a cornerstone event in Detroit’s small business landscape.

The topics on the agenda are relevant and timely, covering crucial issues like financial agility, cybersecurity, mental health in entrepreneurship, and workforce management.

Getting Financially Agile

One of the pivotal sessions will focus on financial agility. Small business owners will have the chance to explore various funding options and robust strategies to enhance their economic resilience. For many, especially in the Black community, managing finances often involves navigating fluctuating interest rates and limited access to capital. This session will offer insights that could make a significant difference.

Protecting Your Business in a Digital Age

CyberShield. In today’s digital world, safeguarding sensitive data and customer information is essential. Participants will learn practical tips on protecting their businesses against the ever-growing threat of cyber attacks.

Mental Health Matters

When it comes to entrepreneurship, stress and burnout are common challenges. That’s why a special session titled Mind Over Business will focus on the mental health of entrepreneurs. Attendees can anticipate strategies for effectively managing stress, helping them to maintain balance in their professional and personal lives.

Navigating Workforce Management

With the rise of remote work trends, the Workforce Management discussions will be invaluable. Topics like hiring practices, employee retention, and adapting to new working environments will be front and center, providing practical insights for anyone responsible for managing a team.

Learning from Real-Life Resilience

Participants will also be treated to a fireside chat named The Resilient Entrepreneur – Thriving Through Uncertainty. This segment will feature inspiring stories from business owners who have faced challenges and emerged stronger. It’s a great reminder that resilience is not just a buzzword, but a crucial trait for success.

Networking and Future Insights

As if all of this wasn’t enough, the workshop will also feature keynote speakers and economic experts offering insights into the forecast for 2025. Discussions will revolve around inflation, government policies, and market trends—information that every entrepreneur needs to stay ahead of the curve.

The event is free to attend, ensuring that all business owners have access to these valuable resources. This year, registration numbers are already gaining momentum, and expectations are high that attendance will surpass that of previous years.
