The Art of Doing Business: Riding the Summer Momentum into Q4 Success

A Roundtable Discussion for Business Owners 

Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026 | 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm 

Location: Wild Water Collective, Orleans 

Summer brought customers, events, opportunities, and lessons. Now is the time to pause, take stock, and turn what you learned into a strong finish to the year.

Join the Community Development Partnership and Erika Nickerson, Beach Cottage Living, for a candid, interactive roundtable discussion focused on reflecting on the season, revisiting your goals, and building your Q4 game plan. 

COME READY TO SHARE! 
Bring your wins, challenges, questions, and lessons from the summer. 
 

WE’LL TALK ABOUT:

• Review the Season
  What worked? What didn’t? What surprised you? What did your customers respond to?
• Revisit Your Goals
  Are you on track with the goals you set for 2026? What needs to change before the year ends?
• Make Your Calendar Work for You
  Look ahead and identify key dates, events, promotions and opportunities to plan your marketing—not react to it.
• Maximize Holiday Opportunities
  Think ahead to Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Giving Tuesday, holiday shopping, and year-end celebrations.
• Turn Events into Marketing Moments
  Learn how to use your calendar to create a steady rhythm of promotions, events and customer engagement.
• Finish Strong
  Leave with clear priorities and actionable ideas for making the most of Q4.

Come together with fellow artists, creatives, and makers to hear from expert panelists, grow community, and get inspired!
