IGNITE Greer
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
OUR FORMAT
Each month, we showcase two 6 to 10 minute presentations by local entrepreneurs or small business owners and focus on a challenge they face.
With the rest of our time, we field Q&A, offer feedback to help each other, and create space for networking and building relationships.
THE DETAILS
The IGNITE community meets the fourth Wednesday of every month.
Meetings are always one hour from 8:30 to 9:30am and are open to business owners and entrepreneurs.
We always provide hot coffee to kick-start your day!
