Akron, OH (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- With the rising cost of airfare and accommodations, fewer business owners are traveling to attend business conferences, and yet they still need the valuable advice and learning tools they receive from industry events.

I got the idea one Sunday as I was looking back on ‘younger days’ when anything was possible - we didn’t care about the economy, we only cared about making a difference in the world and having fun. Why not do that with our businesses?

Post this

Bizapalooza, a virtual conference, will provide resources and education geared toward small business, and attendees don’t even have to leave their offices to attend. The event is scheduled for July 16-18, 2013, and is free to attend. The event is being sponsored by SmallBizOpinions.com, a community of small business owners who share their insights and get access to data to run their business better.

The panel of “rock star” small business experts includes marketing, organizational, and public relations experts including:

Ivana Taylor, founder of Bizapalooza, knew that most people find conferences boring and concerts fun. She wanted to create a virtual event that brings the fun and energy of the rock concert experience to building and growing a business.

“I got the idea one Sunday as I was looking back on ‘younger days’ when anything was possible - we didn’t care about the economy, we only cared about making a difference in the world and having fun,” said Taylor, “I thought, why not do that with our businesses?”

Taylor was inspired by the idea of having the 28 million existing small businesses hire just one more person. The impact that would have on the economy and on the world motivated her to do something.

“I realized that through my blog, my articles and social media network, I could actually reach 28 million small business owners. So I started reaching out to all my professional and social media contacts whose books I had read and reviewed, tools I had used and strategies I had used to grow my business. I figured if they helped me grow my business, they could help every small business owner who attended Bizapalooza.”

There is no cost to attend the online conference. For the agenda, speakers’ bios, and to register for Bizapalooza, please visit http://smallbizapalooza.com.

About Bizapalooza
