Revitalizing Main Street America
The familiar storefronts, friendly markets, and vibrant local enterprises that employ your neighbor and feed your family are the backbone of the U.S. economy and the heart of our communities. Small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), fuel economic growth and create local employment. They are critical for maintaining strong towns and cities across the nation. But how can a normal, everyday person get their hands on a small-to-medium business?
Enter SMBash—a premier event dedicated to equipping small business owners, operators, and entrepreneurial searchers with actionable business strategies to refocus on local businesses owned and operated by local folks. Held from April 2–4, 2025, in Dallas, TX, SMBash offers inspiration and learning to help business owners and future entrepreneurs turn ideas into action.
Whether you’re a seasoned SMB operator, an aspiring entrepreneur eager to grow through acquisition, or a community advocate searching for ways to breathe life into your local economy, SMBash is the event you won’t want to miss.
What Makes SMBash Unique?
SMBash isn’t your typical business conference. Designed specifically for SMB owners and searchers, it focuses on unlocking actionable insights rather than abstract theories. Here’s what sets it apart.
Tailored, Dual-Track Content
SMBash offers a unique dual-track format, allowing attendees to follow sessions tailored to their specific goals:
- Searchers’ Track: Learn how to find, evaluate, and acquire the ideal business.
- Operators’ Track: Explore strategies for optimizing and scaling existing businesses.
Sessions are hosted by experienced entrepreneurs, business owners, and service providers, all with real-world experience. SMBash ensures attendees leave not just with knowledge, but with a clear path forward, equipped to implement strategies immediately.
Actionable Insights, Not Just Inspiration
You don’t come to SMBash just to be motivated—you come to be empowered. Every keynote, workshop, and panel is designed with actionable takeaways at its core. SMBash ensures every entrepreneur learns exactly how they can take measurable steps toward business growth.
Why Main Street Businesses Matter
Main Street businesses are more than economic engines—they are community lifelines. They aren't just the businesses on literal main street either; they are the plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, laundry mats, landscaping companies, and more - all working together to keep our cities running. Each SMB has the power to revitalize neighborhoods, foster local pride, and create meaningful connections among neighbors.
The Economic Impact of SMBs
SMBs drive local economies by creating jobs, encouraging entrepreneurship, and keeping money circulating within communities. Entrepreneurship through acquisition is the term for folks who buy these businesses and keep them thriving. By nurturing SMBs, we foster local resilience and stimulate nationwide growth.
