The Small Business Conference. Festival-style event for business owners, operators, and teams. Build relationships. Grow your company. Sep 15-17 in Columbia, MO








In 2009 my parents came to visit me in Jacksonville. My parents are Baptist and being a good son, I took them to church at the largest Baptist church in Jacksonville. The guest preacher that day was Bob Tebow. He spit fire. Epic. But he also wore a championship ring from UF. Tim Tebow had his championship ring sized for his father’s hand, not his own. Tebow said that the national championship ring belonged to his father, because his father gave everything to make him who he was. God bless the Tebows.















Every year at Main Street Summit, we ask attendees a simple question: What’s your biggest challenge right now? And we encourage them to ask each other the same. A few answers kept coming up: “It’s hard to find the right people in the room.” “Networking feels transactional.” “I want real conversations.” So we redesigned sponsorships around that. No booths. No awkward badge scans. We blew up the traditional expo floor and replaced it with immersive experiences woven into the Summit itself.

Most local news is disappearing. @impactnews is thriving. @johnpgarrett started Community Impact with $39K and a game room. Today it's Texas's largest local news org — 200+ people, zero outside funding. On Apr 21, MSS All-In Pass holders will spend the day inside how he built it.
