Since we are moving to a new location this month that has a lounge, we are going to try something new… “The Expert Bar”. This is where we bring in a local real estate expert and let you ask them questions during the trade show and before the main meeting.
Since this is our first time to have an “Expert Bar”, we we may start out in the Doubletree Lounge, but may end up moving into the main meeting room depending on how many people show up and how much much space we take up in the hotel lounge which is not very big. Purchasing beverages is optional, but recommended to keep the hotel happy.
At 5:00 PM in the Main Lobby, we have a Vendor Trade Show that lasts throughout the meeting where you can come out and meet many of our participating Business Members and Vendor Guests who help sponsor our meeting. See a full list of our vendors and sponsors below as they are added.
Vendor tables are limited, so any vendors wanting to reserve a table for the meeting can RSVP for a Vendor Table here. Vendor tables are reserved and setup on a first-come, first-serve basis.

5 Seasons Brewing, Sandy Springs, GA
Come be part of the Small Business Group on Thursday, February 11th at 11:30AM at the 5 Seasons Brewing at the Prado located at 5600 Roswell Rd in Sandy Springs where where Business, Coach and Business Strategy Speaker, Jeff Lovejoy, of ActionCOACH will be sharing with us how to find your way to true success.

Jeff will teach you…
- How to run your business efficiently
- How to have SMART GOALS
- How to create Strategies and Tactics to keep you on track to reach those goals

With more than 25 years of experience building and leading corporate teams in the financial industry under his belt, Jeff brings a passion like no other to the practice he formed in 2008 as a Public Speaker and Business Coach with ActionCOACH.
Jeff has found that a great many smart people are unable to find their way to true success. While their innate or developed skills and talents have carried them to a point of significant achievement, they still can’t quite reach that golden ring.
By helping them define and develop processes, systems, and an infrastructure to support their goals, Jeff assists clients in closing that final gap, often reaching culmination in both their professional and personal life.
