Welcome to Valley Ventures' 2nd Annual Tradeshow. Valley Ventures is a MicroCredit-NH Business Group based in Berlin, which has organized this event that showcases the products and services of small businesses in the region. Valley Ventures invites you to this unique opportunity for the North Country area community to become better acquainted with the wide range of businesses in the North Country. Attendees will find they don’t have to cross state borders – or even town lines – for certain goods or services, as area MicroCredit-NH member businesses can meet many of their needs.

Prominent marketing professional Katie Paine, will be the keynote speaker. She will discuss "How small businesses use social media to look like and become big businesses." Ms. Paine recently received the Entrepreneurial Venture Creation Person of the Year award. The award is given to a New Hampshire resident with a demonstrated commitment to the state’s business community and a track record of creating entrepreneurial value. The Small Business Administration also named her New Hampshire’s 2007 Woman Business Owner of the Year.

Dr. Debbi Warner, a WREN member, will speak about "Innovation and taking the leap into entrepreneurship." She is a clinical psychologist who wrote: 'Renovation Psychology' and has a lot to offer a small business owner.

Be sure not to miss the hourly raffles and the opportunity for discounted products and services from the many vendors. There will also be complimentary snacks and drinks.

Visit the events page for a detailed agenda for the day’s events. We look forward to seeing you there.
