Small Business Expo Charlotte runs March 24, 2027 at Charlotte Convention Center, Charlotte.

What it is

The Charlotte show is a one-day business networking event and trade show for entrepreneurs, founders and startups. It is part of Small Business Expo's tour of US cities.

The organizer bills it as "specifically crafted by small business owners for small businesses." Exhibitors are companies selling to small businesses, and they come to generate leads, demonstrate products and start sales conversations. The organizer's exhibitor categories include AI tools, digital marketing services, accounting, banking and funding, IT solutions, merchant services, payroll and HR, and legal services.

Hours and admission

• The show runs 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Badge registration is free. The free badge covers networking, the educational sessions and the Exhibitor Hall.

Networking tools

• Color-coded badges: each attendee's badge color marks their industry, so it is easier to find relevant contacts.
• Business Card Exchange: a free online resource where US startups can upload a business card, flyer, poster or brochure. Uploads are organized by industry so other business owners can find them.
• Webinars: after the show, Small Business Expo's webinars cover sales and marketing, financial management, SEO, social media marketing, legal guidance and human resources.
