WEST KENDALL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION HOSTS 4TH ANNUAL BUSINESS EXPO,
WITH OVER 1,200 GUESTS AND 100 EXHIBITORS

The West Kendall Business Association (WKBA) hosted its fourth annual Business Expo on Thursday, October 8 at Signature Gardens (12725 SW 122nd Ave).  More than 100 businesses exhibited and networked with more than 1,200 guests. Despite the recent economic downturn and shutting down of so many small businesses in South Florida, WKBA has seen a spike in interest and membership in 2009.

“The sold-out exhibitor spaces and record attendance are testament to the growth and potential of the West Kendall community,” says WKBA Chairman Jorge F. Peña. “Providing such a forum for West Kendall businesses and residents is one of West Kendall Business Association’s biggest and proudest accomplishments,” he added.

Last year’s expo featured 100 exhibitors and brought over 1,100 guests.
