October 7, 2020 | Main Street Pop-Up Conversation: Advancing Inclusive Entrepreneurship

Are you looking to connect with your peers, get inspiration from other communities, make new friends, or simply talk to anyone that doesn’t live in your house? Register for our next Pop-up Conversation, available exclusively to Main Street America members.

Topic: Advancing Inclusive Entrepreneurship
Date: Weds., Oct. 14 from 2pm - 3pm CST
Facilitator: Amanda Elliott, Senior Program Officer and Director of California Programs at the National Main Street Center

Inclusive entrepreneurship supports efforts that intentionally bring a more diverse set of innovators and business owners to the table. It breaks down barriers for economic growth to build more vibrant commercial districts by attracting a broader community. Join Amanda and your Main Street peers as we explore the benefits of inclusive entrepreneurship and discuss the various strategies to recruit and support diverse and underrepresented entrepreneurs.

Save the Date for our next Pop-Up!

  • 10/27 at 2pm CST: Gearing up for Holiday Shopping during COVID with Matt Wagner, Vice President of Revitalization Programs (Registration will open the week of October 19)

Did you miss our last pop-up on Fundraising through Crisis? 
It’s not too late! You can view a recording and discuss with your peers on The Point here.

About Pop-Up Conversations: Pop-Ups are casual conversations organized around a common topic and facilitated by a member of our staff with ample time for small group discussion. You’ll get to hear examples from Main Streets across the country, connect with friends (and make some new ones!), and discuss how these issues are impacting you. Please note that space is limited and registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
