The Arizona Small Business Association (ASBA), together with the Arizona Commerce Authority, will hold its SCALE Roadshow event in Mesa on September 10, 2025. The event is scheduled to take place at the Mesa Convention Center and aims to provide small business owners and entrepreneurs in the East Valley with access to educational resources, expert-led sessions, and support networks.
The event is part of ASBA’s Strategic Coaching for Advancing Local Entrepreneurs (SCALE) initiative. Attendees can expect a city panel featuring municipal leaders from Tempe, Scottsdale, and Mesa who will discuss strategies for fostering small business growth in their communities. Breakout sessions and roundtable discussions are also planned, giving participants an opportunity to engage directly with industry professionals and other business owners.
“Whether you’re a startup founder, an established business owner, or a side-hustler, this event will help you connect with experts, discover funding opportunities, and walk away with actionable insights for growth. It’s your opportunity to learn, connect, and grow, right here in the East Valley,” organizers stated.
Participation is free but requires registration. Complimentary coffee and lunch will be provided during the one-day program running from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM.
