Cornwall – BizFest is coming to Cornwall. The Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce will be celebrating October’s Small Business Month with an all new week-long Business Festival, BizFest. Starting on the 17th, it will present a jam-packed week of seminars, topnotch speakers and networking events all focused on the hundreds of small and medium sized businesses that make up Cornwall’s engine of economic growth.

“Our Theme is — “Ignite Your Passion,” declares Joey Gault, Chamber Director and BizFest Chair. “Our business community is constantly challenged with endless paperwork, staffing issues, cash flow, and finding ways to build a client base,” continues Gault. “BizFest will offer a series of activities that promises to be a catalyst for innovation, growth and business development.”

The week long business festival will combine a variety of functions, venues and events that will ignite the business community’s passion for growth and success. From ‘boot-camp’ training to dynamic speakers to the essential creativity sharing with business colleagues, BizFest guarantees participants will come away with new ideas and a renewed vigour.

“BizFest also gives local business a terrific opportunity to be an event sponsor and to gain valuable public relations exposure,” says Gault. “There are a number of different sponsorship levels and a call to the Chamber office will get you all the details.”

“Every week we are adding to the awesomeness of BizFest,” states Gault. “Tickets are now on sale, and you can get all the info from bizfest.ca or by following us on twitter or facebook.”  The Chamber is looking forward to a huge response from our business professionals. BizFest will be a week not to be missed.
