“SMBs are the backbone of the U.S. economy and they have been impacted by the global pandemic,” said TriNet President and CEO Burton M.

Due to TriNet’s unique business position of working with 18,000-plus SMBs that employ approximately 313,000 worksite employees, we have insights into the issues and trends entrepreneurs and business owners are asking, worried about and interested in discovering.”

“The future of work is here and, much like everything else in 2020, it is unpredictable and rapidly evolving but, at the same time, full of opportunity for those businesses that are innovative and adaptable,” added TriNet Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Communications Officer Michael Mendenhall. “ This conference has been strategically designed to inspire, inform and invigorate entrepreneurs and business leaders by taking a deep dive into what is on the horizon for small and medium-size businesses, and how they can navigate through the future to improve their chances of success.”
