The annual Licensing and Business Resource Fair was created as a collaboration between the Offices of the License Collector, Michael McMillan, and the Collector of Revenue, Gregory F.X. Daly.  By hosting this event in the community, it increases accessibility and time flexibility for those businesses that have been delinquent in paying their taxes. This year's 2011 Fifth Annual event was held during the St. Louis Public School's Back to School and Community Empowerment Festival. It was attended by more than 11,000 people.

The combined Licensing / Resources / Back-to-School & Community Empowermet Fair was well attended.

Other city agencies joining the Licensing and Business Resource Fair were the Business Assistance Center, Health Department, Air Pollution, Personnel Department, St. Louis City Building Division, Excise Department and the Recycling Division.  Banks were invited to provide supportive business services. Participating banks were Commerce, Fifth Third, Regions and Midwest Bank Centre. Each bank provided information offering value-added support.
