FLAVORS OF SAN FRANCISCO
"Flavors of San Francisco" marks the formal opening ceremonies for Small Business Week. This gala networking event is hosted by Mayor Gavin Newsom and takes place in San Francisco at City Hall. After opening remarks by the Mayor, the Small Business Administration presents the National Small Business Week Awards. These awards are bestowed upon individuals who demonstrate unparalleled personal commitment and dedication to the business community and the communities they serve.

After the opening ceremonies, the restaurants of San Francisco take center stage and offer their favorite food and drink samplings. The venues that are invited to participate represent the city's various neighborhoods and backgrounds and their diversity colors the ethnic palate for which San Francisco is famous.
During the event, the city's collaborative partners along with our sponsors, offer a free resource and networking event.

This event boasts 75 restaurant and small business resource partners and over 1,500 attendees. It also provides our sponsors with a number of high profile opportunities for advertising and networking. Our sponsors receive a six by six foot draped booth, tabletop signage, where they can highlight their service, product and marketing materials. This event also includes visible logo and advertising placement on the overhead screens in the main Rotunda and Light Court areas and advertising placement in the resource brochure that will be distributed throughout the event. At the Enterprise level and above, our sponsors receive special acknowledgement during the opening remarks.

Free.
