Cultivate Lancaster Entrepreneurs Forum #9: A Healthier Business (Expo)
Thursday, January 23, 2020 | Smart Health Innovation Lab
For many entrepreneurs, the line between where “you” end and your business begins is thin, if discernible at all. As a result, everything from a simple stomach bug to high levels of stress has a high potential to affect your business’s bottom line in a very real way.
At Cultivate Lancaster Entrepreneurs Forum #9, we’re putting the spotlight on health and wellness: from healthcare to self care, all of the extras that are essential to running a successful business. Whether you’re getting ready to take your side hustle center stage or already operating a small business, this expo-style event will leave you fully-equipped with tips and strategies to help make 2020 your strongest, healthiest year yet.
Program.
In addition to the usual lineup of news & updates from Lancaster’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, ample time for networking & the opportunity to meet & greet with the many local small business resource providers, A Heathier Business (Expo) will also feature workshops & sessions showcasing a variety of ways to take care of yourself and your business in the new year.
