Description

The Future of Small Business

Sustainability is the central theme for all 2025 ILFs. Our sessions focus on comprehensive sustainability needs/challenges as well as topics that are most relevant to each individual sector.

The BNP has gathered an impressive group of small business leaders to discuss sustainability and the impact of new trends and government policies on Thursday, September 18.

Ashley Ranslow, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) New York Director, will give a presentation on government regulations and market trends that impact all owners and businesses. We will then have a group discussion on how AI and web-based resources can help small businesses be more efficient and competitive.
