Your next level as an entrepreneur, whether you’re a solo operation or have a full team of employees, lies in how you will leverage technology and finance in your business operations. This is probably not news to you: all of the indicators in the business world around us make clear that there is no way that you will be able to get around mastering these two essential components of business building if you want to get to the next level.

But what’s an entrepreneur with a limited budget, scarce free time, and no drive to enroll in a formal training program to do about learning how to engage technology and finance at a higher level? Texas Black Expo has the answer: our first annual “Banking on You” series!

The Banking on You series, sponsored by industry giants Microsoft and Comerica Bank, is your opportunity to invest in you as you learn from experts who have a mastery of not only what you need to do to elevate how you interact with technology and finance in your business but a step-by-step process on how to get it done.

These presentations are catered towards a targeted audience – Black small business owners – and the presenters know how to read the room, sense the issues and speak the language. This business empowerment series could be the answer to your next level in business that you’ve been seeking!
