Business Support Presenter Interest Form

Do you or your organization have practical marketing or technology expertise to share? We invite Economic Alliance member businesses to help equip fellow small businesses and nonprofits with the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to succeed. The 4-date Let’s Get Down to Business series is focused on practical, actionable marketing and technology topics for organizations that often operate without dedicated staff in those areas.

This is not a sales pitch, but an opportunity for Economic Alliance member businesses to share real-world insights, build thought leadership, and support the broader business community.

Topics we’re looking for presenters on:

Social Media Marketing for Small Businesses
Foundational platforms, content strategies, and realistic ways to stay consistent
AI & Cybersecurity
Where AI can add value—and where it may introduce risk
Email Marketing Essentials
Why it’s effective, building lists, creating effective campaigns, and measuring success
Cybersecurity Basics
Common threats, phishing awareness, and what businesses should know now
Online Marketing & Search
Navigating SEO in a changing landscape influenced by AI-driven search tools

Program formats may include workshops, panels, or facilitated discussions based on submissions and interest.

Interested presenters should complete the below form by or before January 30, 2026. Any questions can be directed to Rebecca Sullens at rsullens@cedarrapids.org.
