Ask the Experts is an informal, rotating panel of local industry experts focused on a particular subject matter affecting small businesses. Each event will feature a new topic featuring a knowledgeable, experienced speaker. These events are meant to help emerging enterprises discuss business issues with Partnership partners every other month. The event is around the second Wednesday of every other month from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. location depending on the size of the group.

Every attendee should come equipped with a question for the speaker. The subject matter of each event will be advertised by the VVP to allow adequate time for our partners to brainstorm questions/concerns in the area of discussion. Questions can be simple or intricate, but should address the specialties of the night's speaker. Assume the speaker will have between 6-10 minutes to respond. To ensure questions are targeted, speaker backgrounds will be provided to all attendees before the event.

5:30 p.m. - 5:40 p.m. Introductions
5:40 p.m. - 6:45 p.m. Attendee questions and panelist responses
6:45 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Moderator generated questions, panelist closing thoughts

The event is free for all VVP Partners and is reserved for only partners. Seating is available on a first come, first serve basis.
