The speaker said the event showcases graduates of program classes at the Entrepreneur Center and connects entrepreneurship to larger industry activity across Tennessee. "This is what I spent 2 decades doing in the private sector and I love this stuff, but this is the heartbeat really of our economy and our state," the speaker said, adding that similar events are planned in other cities: "Just talk to somebody at Knoxville that's going to do something similar."
