What we're about

✅ SBSH (Small Business Study Hall) is our monthly series for small businesses, start-ups, entrepreneurs and freelancers. Each month is a different topic or interactive theme. Each meetup also includes 30+ minutes of networking and meet and greet with like-minded entrepreneurs from Elgin and the northwest suburbs.

✅ We meet in the 3rd week of the month, on Thursdays.

✅ “Each one, reach one.” We also encourage you to invite a fellow entrepreneur!

✅ Although named “Entrepreneurs” meetup, this is a group for anybody looking for ideas, inspiration, mentors, or resources to assist you on your journey.
We welcome:
– Students and recent grads looking to make connections,
– Creatives needing help to market their skills,
– Corporate employees looking to build their leadership skills,
– Founders who need to improve their communication skills,
 but most importantly,
– Cool and interesting people who want to share ideas, collaborate, learn and grow together.

✅ Brought to you by The Expo Experts, ETC Coworking and HadlBran Digital Marketing.
