The goal of the expo is to help owners thrive and expand on their current business model.
Business Boutique
This woman-led event series is comprised of several one-day events and includes a large fall event. Led by Christie Wright of Dave Ramsey fame, the conference is designed to take women from the first step of their business idea to a complete marketing plan. Loaded with unlimited networking opportunities with other compatible and motivated females, the event is designed for entrepreneurs in various stages of business development. Additionally, it aims to address other areas such as work/life balance as well as ideas for setting personal goals.
Launch Festival
The Launch Festival is a huge magnet for seekers of venture capital and/or angel investments. Free passes to the event are available to founders but are limited to the first 10,000 applicants to submit their business idea. The Launch is billed as the world’s largest startup event celebrating entrepreneurship annually.
