Event Details:

*         The Bull City Business Summit is designed to create learning opportunities for both aspiring and existing entrepreneurs in key areas that are critical to their growth and development.


*         The theme for this free two-day event is "Resilience and Reinvention" and aims to support entrepreneurs who have encountered systemic barriers such as being people with disabilities, older adults, or justice involved.


*         During the first day of the summit, attendees will be introduced to the entrepreneurial mindset and how critical it is to develop their business ventures. On the second day, business resource partners and exhibitors will provide a full day of programming and a small business resource fair. This event will also feature a keynote speaker to help attendees leave with not just an idea, but actionable steps toward making that idea a reality.


*         The Bull City Business Summit is part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, which celebrates and empowers entrepreneurs in every country and community around the world - especially those individuals who face systemic barriers or may have never considered the idea of launching a startup.
