Norris Conference Centers - Austin

<h3>You're Invited to EGBI's Biggest Celebration of the Year!</h3> <h3>Norris Conference Center</h3><h4>2525 West Anderson Lane #365, Austin, TX 78757</h4> <h3>Friday, August 22nd, 10:30am to 1 pm</h3>⏰ 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM | Small Business Showcase ⏰ 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Lunch + Program <h3>About the Event</h3>At EGBI, we help turn dreams into businesses—and businesses into legacies. Our clients come to us ready to build something powerful—but they face barriers. Maybe they don’t know how to register their business. Maybe they can’t access resources in their language. Maybe they land a big opportunity but don’t have the structure to grow.We meet them where they are. And when those barriers come down? They launch. They thrive. They send their kids to college. They buy their first family homes. They hire locally. They give back. They transform their lives—and their communities.That’s what we’re celebrating. And we want you to be part of it. Why Celebrating Success MattersThis event is a celebration of resilience.In a time when Austin's small business owners are navigating high rents, inflation, and economic uncertainty, they continue to show up, push forward, and create. They juggle families, late nights, and rising costs to open storefronts, launch services, and build something lasting.Celebrating Success is our moment to pause and honor that grit. It’s a space where stories of growth and determination take center stage—where our business owners are no longer behind the counter, but in the spotlight.You’ll get the chance to meet the people who are building the future of Austin’s economy—up close and personal. Walk the vendor fair, hear directly from the Business Owner of the Year, and feel the impact of our mission through stories, smiles, and shared joy.
