For the second consecutive year, the Bronx Small Business Expo will bring together a plethora of small business owners. The expo was created to support the growth of small businesses in the Bronx and surrounding areas in New York City, and bridge the gap between entrepreneurs, small business resources and local consumers. The event is organized by High Society Management, an event management and consulting company.
Who would benefit from attending? Owner of High Society Event Management, LaToya Wilcox, explains “The expo is open to micro entrepreneurs (and aspiring) that are interested in building meaningful long-lasting relationships, forming new partnerships and educating themselves on how to start and elevate their business.”
Being in its second year, like many other annual events, the Bronx Small Business Expo will feature new additions from the previous year. Wilcox explains what’s new, “This year we will have more small business resources - tabling information about various products, services and programs available to small business owners. We have also added a 1-hour networking mixer with complimentary drinks and a head shot photo studio with professional photographers!”
This year’s expo will also feature exhibitors, speakers, shopping, live demonstrations, onsite consultations, entertainment, music, raffle contests and more. It will serve as a space where attendees can network, shop to support local businesses and learn from industry experts on how to start and grow a business.
Entrepreneurs that are looking to increase brand awareness, reach new customers and direct selling would benefit greatly from this expo. This is also a perfect opportunity for businesses and organizations to become a sponsor if their target market are entrepreneurs, self-employed, or small business owners.

The economics of trade shows have shifted. Yet the ROI conversation is still murky. As trade show costs rise, budgets aren't keeping pace, creating pressure on event organizers.
If you’re an event organizer, you know the drill. Event goals often sound fantastic in the initial brainstorming session, but when it’s time for execution, they can easily collapse.
Let’s be honest: there was a time when great content and a catchy title were enough to pull in a crowd. But today, events have become a go-to marketing play, and now, everyone’s in the game.
