Ohio Small Firm Exchange (SFx) 2024

The Ohio SFx (Small Firms Exchange) is in its second year. In the even months, we will keep the half hour open for people to get to know one another, ask questions, and be open for general conversation. In the odd months, we will have hour-long meetings focusing on a topic around a featured guest with experience or expertise. There will still be time for introductions at the beginning, and lots of time for follow-up questions and discussion.

If you have expertise in any of our upcoming topics and would like to participate, or know someone who would, please let me know.
