EASTERN CAPE SMALL BUSINESS NETWORK (ECSBN) EXHIBITION 2014 “Breaking down the Barriers of Business” 15 May 2014 – 7:30am– 17:30pm Boardwalk International Convention Centre The ECSBN proudly presents a business celebration with one purpose: to bridge the gap. The ECSBN evolved to provide Small to Medium Enterprises the infrastructure, communication channels, networking and environment in which business develops, matures, and thrives. The ECSBN is the arena, and business is the name of the game. All are equal here, and no business man or woman will be preferred to another based upon race, standing, age or gender. The ECSBN Expo 2014: Breaking Down the Barriers of Business aims to show that a small business owner can rub shoulders with any multinational conglomerate CEO. At the same time, it means to dissolve the perception that large businesses are unapproachable. Competitors shouldn’t be prejudiced toward one another, but rather mutually viewed as peers in an industry. Together, businesses are the key to placing Port Elizabeth and the Eastern Cape at the forefront of the South African economy. Let’s build bridges in our economy; between the rich and poor, the powerful and weak, new and experienced, grass roots and executive boardroom.
