The day will feature:

Morning Business Resource Fair (10:00 AM – 12:00 PM)
Meet one-on-one with experts in legal services, finance, marketing, and technical assistance, along with representatives from the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Explore vendor tables, gather resources, and discover opportunities to strengthen your business.

Afternoon Networking & Connections (4:00 PM – 7 PM)
Get ready for an evening of fun, games, and great connections! Mix and mingle with local business owners and resource partners while enjoying interactive icebreakers and networking games that make meeting new people easy (and enjoyable).

This event is free-flowing, interactive, and designed for business growth—don’t miss your chance to connect, learn, and collaborate!
