SMALL BUSINESS EXPO is the only national B2B trade show, networking event and conference dedicated to small business owners and business decision-makers. You can shop for new products and services that will help your business exceed its goals, attend business critical workshops and network with thousands of other like-minded small business professionals.
Zachary W. Lezberg, a New York City based producer and entrepreneur, who currently owns and operates theater, film, and live event production company, The Show Producers, has long been passionate about developing unforgettable productions. His 13+ years of industry experience began in 2000, when, as a freshman at the University of Miami, Lezberg launched Quantum Entertainment. A student run film and theater production organization, Quantum Entertainment provides individuals with the coveted opportunity to gain firsthand experience in all aspects of theatrical, film and live event production.
At the time of his graduation in 2004, which also saw him honored with the “Most Influential Student on Campus Award,” Lezberg had grown Quantum Entertainment from its founding group of five members to over 800 students. Today, the group is ranked as one of the most popular campus organizations, and has produced a range of popular and well reviewed musical productions, including revivals of The Rocky Horror Show, A Chorus Line, and West Side Story.
Upon graduation, Lezberg began work as the Assistant Director of Business Affairs with The Araca Group, a leading Broadway production company that has produced world renowned blockbuster musical hits such as Wicked and Urinetown, as well as numerous other Tony Award winning musicals and plays.
His successful four-year tenure at The Araca Group is also accompanied by an array of other industry experience, including notable turns as a Casting Associate for NBC’s hit television series, Fear Factor, a Production Coordinator for Universal Studios overseeing films and television commercials, and the producer of multiple films, including a winner at the Entertainment Incubator’s Miami Film Festival.
Lezberg has also led the influential production company The Show Producers since its founding in 2008. In addition to Broadway theatrical productions, The Show Producers coordinates and operates SMALL BUSINESS EXPO, the largest national B2B tradeshow and networking event for business owners across the country. Small Business Expo is currently in the top US small business cities, including New York City, Dallas, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco & Chicago attracting over 50,000 business owners a year.
