The conferences will give way to a three-day blitz of access to free advice and services like accounting, HR management, marketing and payroll. The first 1,000 businesses can get free headshots, business cards and access to coworking space sponsored by Benjamin’s Desk.

“I think many small biz are missing these services because they don’t know about them,” said Groover. “We wanted to curate brands that companies should know about. They can also learn about strategies like pitching the media and handling their finances all under one roof.”
