Ignite419 Entrepreneur and Small Business Summit
Ignite 419 is currently the only forum where local professionals from all types of industry can ask questions of Northwest Ohio small business owners and leaders who are living the life they're living. We have designed a customized experience for each attendee through this event.
Most of us know that, on average, for every $100 spent in a locally-owned business, about $68 stays in the local economy. Whereas, if you shop at a national chain, that local investment drops to about $42 of $100. So that's why Ignite 419 is gathering local professionals together to share thoughts, ideas, and resources as it's so important to invest in the communities where we live, work, play, and worship.
The day includes a workshop for professional development, a keynote from a TEDx speaker, and then a diverse group of individuals serving on panel discussions during the afternoon. Our panelists range from CFOs, business and accounting professors, CPAs, employment attorneys, HR professionals in various fields, marketing and branding gurus from large and small operations, as well as fellow business owners who have built or successfully sold businesses to investors and developers. There will be an opportunity for free headshots with a local photographer and there's a business lounge where you can plug in or step away to answer pressing work calls. We'll cap off our day with a networking hour over refreshments and cocktails.
Ignite 419 is brought to you by the Fostoria Chamber of Commerce and Fostoria Economic Development. Registration will be open through October 1st. You can go to ignite419.com, to learn more about our panelists, more about the agenda, and register.
