That’s why we’re excited to be attending the B2SMB Leaders Forum next week (May 14–15), joining other innovators and leaders who share our mission to better serve the backbone of our economy. We’re looking forward to connecting, collaborating, and shaping what’s next for the small business space.

Our Co-founder & CEO, Joe Brown, will be on the ground - if you’ll be at the B2SMB Leaders Forum, let’s connect! We’d love to meet and swap ideas.

What’s the B2SMB Leaders Forum?

It’s the 7th annual gathering of senior leaders focused on one thing: how to better reach, serve, and support small businesses. This year’s theme is “AI2SMB: The New Sell To Small Business” and the conversations are designed to be tactical, honest, and driven by real-world challenges.

You’ll hear from market leaders, industry experts, and small business owners themselves. Topics include:

  • How AI is shaping what and how we sell to SMBs
  • What's working now in marketing and media for SMBs
  • Insights from real small business owners
  • Strategic networking with decision-makers from top brands

And yes, it’s all happening at a gorgeous winery in Sonoma.

Why Joe’s joining the conversation

Joe Brown, CEO and Cofounder of SMB.co, is heading to the B2SMB Leaders Forum in Sonoma to collaborate with the leaders shaping the future of how we serve small businesses - especially as AI transforms the way we build, market, and sell into SMB.

At SMB.co, we see what small business buyers and sellers need every day. From first-time entrepreneurs to legacy owners preparing to exit, one thing is clear: SMBs need smarter tools and tech to grow—so more of them can reach a successful exit.

Joe’s excited to learn and share ideas around:

  • How AI can help B2SMB brands better serve and reach their ideal customer
  • What really matters to small business owners when they’re preparing to sell
  • Why trust, transparency, and local legacy still matter in an increasingly tech-driven world

If you're building for SMBs, we’d love to connect at the Leaders Forum. Let’s shape the future of small business success - together through smarter tools, stronger partnerships, and our growing SMB Growth Network.
