VMM is proud to partner with Richner Live and Herald Community Newspapers to produce the HERALD LONG ISLAND BUSINESS SUMMIT—the first-ever Long Island-wide business expo!
Sponsored by Bank of America, the Long Island Business Summit is a business conference, trade show, and networking event celebrating the Long Island business community.
JOIN US ON TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 10AM – 5:30PM
ABOUT THE SUMMIT
For the first time in Long Island history – business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals from across industries come together in one place to meet, learn, collaborate, and grow.
Join VMM along with Fortune 500 corporations, small family businesses, startups, B2C and B2B businesses, product and service companies, and others for a day of exhibits, panel discussions, networking opportunities, awards luncheon, valuable giveaways, and much more.
VMM managing partner Joseph Milizio said; “As a business and transactional attorney serving Long Island business leaders for over forty years, from garage startups to multigenerational corporations, I’ve seen many changes in the marketplace and legal landscape. But what I haven’t seen until now is a business expo that brings together professionals from across Long Island and across industries. It’s an idea long overdue, and it’s my great pleasure to help produce it and strengthen the LI business community.”
