The conference, which targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), is spearheaded by digital transformation specialist and Next Step Digital Solutions’ (NSDS) chief vision officer, Mohan Beckford. He has been building the digital capacity of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Jamaica, Guyana and Canada to compete and capitalise on opportunities within the global marketplace for more than 15 years.

The two-day event is being held under the theme ‘Digital Innovation and Financing Opportunities for SMEs’ and will facilitate dialogue between SME business interests, investment and technology experts and international development specialists.

“BizCon provides a phenomenal opportunity to welcome SMEs to explore and discover innovative technologies and financing solutions for evolving SMEs while offering an enabling platform for networking, B2B meetings, and deal-making with local and global business interests in and around the 2-day program,’’ said Beckford.

Day one will allow business operators to interact directly with the guest speakers in an intimate VIP cocktail event. Day two guarantees thought-provoking conversations to bolster businesses’ economic and operational framework.

Exhibitors from the financial, technology, and business development industry will also showcase a wide range of financial and digital solutions geared at assisting SMEs in growing and scaling their business operations.

The conference will be a hybrid event. Entrepreneurs who desire to explore financing solutions and digital technologies that align with their company’s growth and connect with industry experts should attend BizCon.
