Greater Lilburn Business Expo Offers Community Face Time

Here's a chance for some face-to-face time with local businesses and fellow residents of Lilburn.

The third annual Greater Lilburn Business Expo is scheduled  5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Berkmar High School gymnasium. Featured will be around 80 local businesses — all offering door prizes — in a get-to-know-us environment.

The event is produced by the Berkmar Business/Technology Department in partnership with the Lilburn Business Association, Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce and Solutions Marketing.

The tie-in with Berkmar has been strong the past three years. Students in the school's Business/Technology Department help plan and set up the expo; "student ambassadors" welcome exhibitors and help them move their materials into the exhibit area. Food concessions will be offered by the Berkmar Culinary Arts Department.

“This event is quickly becoming a Berkmar tradition; one that our students and teachers look forward to planning every year," Berkmar Principal Ken Johnson said in an event press release. "More importantly, the Expo is a win-win event as our students apply their classroom knowledge and skills to provide our businesses an opportunity to showcase their services and products to our community.”

The Expo is open to the public (parking is free).
