This program is made possible with funding from the New York State Council on the Arts.  

Creative Symposium Series Event#1: Small Business Primer

Registration is now open for Event 1 in our 2025 Creative Symposium Series! This is part of a professional development series for creatives in our community. The event is Free, but space is limited - RSVP here: https://nysbdc.ecenterdirect.com/events/1019263

Description

Our First Event is a 'Small Business Primer'. Advisors from the Small Business Development Center at Binghamton University will present an 'Introduction to Business', tailored to the unique needs of creative businesses. I know this is generally an area that most creatives tend to avoid/procrastinate and yes, maybe Dread! But learning to write a solid business plan and getting to the bottom of those tax and insurance questions will help you turn your passion into a successful venture. Perhaps it will be a little more fun if we embrace it together!

  • Title: Small Business Primer for Creative Businesses

  • Date & Time: Thursday, February 20, 6 - 8 p.m.

  • Location: Cloud Croft Studios - Schoolhouse, 1003 Sanford Rd.

  • Parking: Attendees can park in the field adjacent to the schoolhouse.

  • Registration: This session is FREE but registration is required. Sign up at: https://nysbdc.ecenterdirect.com/events/1019263
