The Southwest Missouri SCORE Educating & Empowering Entrepreneurs (E3) Small Business Conference focuses on providing resources and building relationships to inspire and motivate entrepreneurs and business owners in the Southwest Missouri area. We've worked hard to rebuild and reinvigorate this conference to ensure E3 provides attendees with educational resources and connections that can truly make a difference - whether someone is in their 15th year of business, or are just starting out.
SCORE Southwest Missouri partnered with United for Greatness United Way of the Ozarks and The Great Game of Business to host two days of workshops titled United for Greatness. These workshops paired non-profit agencies with SCORE volunteers and Great Game of Business coaches.
