The Schedule:

You Built Your Business, We'll Help You Grow It, 10 a.m.-noon Oct. 14

Presenters from Goldman Sachs will talk to business owners about programs they offer that can help them grow their business. The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses (10KSB) program is designed to help entrepreneurs increase revenues and create jobs through specialized educational curriculum, peer-to-peer learning, networking and access to capital.
