The National Small Business Week will see a number of events happening from the 8th of April, 2022 until the 16th of April, 2022.
The week’s activities will commence with a networking cocktail for executing partners, sponsors, participants and a number of relevant special invitees.
On Saturday April 9th, 2022, the Small Business Expo will be executed, where the involved businesses will be able to highlight their products and services in an exhibition format. This expo will be taking place at Parc Rayne, Rahaman’s Park and will be open to the public from 12:00 noon to 6:00pm.
