By Cheril Lee

Omaha, NE – The 1st annual Thrive Omaha Small Business Conference takes place on Friday, July 9th at the Scott Center.

Michael Mitilier is the Director of the Small Business Association of the Midlands. He says the purpose of the conference is to help small business owners learn how to grow their business, achieve more sales and become more efficient. Mitilier says Bruce Loeffler will be the guest speaker at the conference. Loefler worked for Disney for ten years and will run a couple of breakout sessions.

Mitilier says there will also be a panel of business owners who will talk about the challenges they faced in 2009 and how they dealt with them. He says supporting small businesses helps keep unemployment numbers down.
