We know that time is valuable for everyone and attending events can sometimes be at the bottom of your to-do list. But there are many benefits – both tangible and intangible – that make it worth going to events. When you network you gain exposure to people you don’t normally come into contact with, get new ideas and discover the latest trends as well as helping you get out of a rut.
The GTP September calendar features signature networking events, special festivals, and classes from partners in our Greater Topeka Entrepreneurship Guide.
Special Event
Facebook will be in Topeka for a special, multi-day event called Facebook Community Boost. You’ll get free in-person training, advice and digital skills to help grow your business, your career, and your community.
You’ll explore a variety of business-related courses that cover reaching new customers, taking Facebook ads to the next level, creating content, using groups for both business and community development and making it easier for you and your community to raise money.
