About this event

Ugly Talk With The SBAC: 
Connecting with New Audiences to Grow Your Business


Join the SBAC in collaboration with Ugly Talk for a candid panel discussion exploring how small businesses can engage new audiences and grow their businesses! We will also briefly discuss ways to support the small business community. Networking will take place before and after the panel discussion.

Location: The Yard – Fulton Market, 1101 West Lake Street, Chicago
Time: 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM  


Connecting with new audiences isn’t harder because there are fewer options. It’s harder because there are too many.

​Business owners and professionals are juggling in-person events, digital platforms, social media, AI tools, and partnership opportunities, often without clarity on what actually drives connection, trust, or growth. Activity feels productive, but impact is inconsistent. Messages get diluted. Relationships stay shallow.

​This Ugly Talk focuses on how connection, communication, and collaboration are really evolving and how to reach new audiences with intention, clarity, and credibility in a crowded, fast-changing landscape.
