GrowSmartBiz: Catherine Read on Success Stories of Small Business

September 24, 2009 :: Shashi Bellamkonda

Its a great feeling when one of your customers invites you to their office and that is how I landed up at http://www.townandcountrymovers.com/ for a open house that they held at their offices in Gaithersburg a few days ago. It was a networking event and among the people I met was Catherine Read who helps Small Business customers with their new media marketing. Catherine is the principal of Creative Read and I was thrilled when she told me she was registered to attend the GrowSmartBiz conference on Sept 29th.

Take  a look at this video interview where she not only talks about Small Business success stories using new media and also the reasons why you should attend the GrowSmartBiz conference.

This all day conference will take place on Tuesday, September 29^th at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC. Chris Anderson, the Editor from Wired magazine and renowned author of The Long Tail, will be the keynote speaker discussing the concept of thriving through freeconomics—what business models look like when free has emerged as a full-fledge economy. We are also honored that Senator Mark Warner will be attending the conference as a special guest speaker, sharing his personal lessons learned as an entrepreneur turned state legislator. In addition, we have a number of other notable speakers lined up. You can learn more about what is in store at this link–there’s a full agenda and a list of speakers.

The conference is positioned to focus on actionable items that small business owners can take to improve their business. We will have industry experts sharing their experiences and providing advice on innovative marketing ideas, raising capital, and insight into the mystery of social media. There will be plenty of networking time and all attendees will receive a bag of useful business resources including a free domain name from Network Solutions, Free Business Planning Software from Palo Alto Software, a copy of Chris Anderson’s book, and actionable tips that business owners can begin working on for tangible results.
