We already know that a recession is a great time for entrepreneurs. A down economy is a great time for innovation and cultivation of great ideas.

But for entrepreneurs making that leap, those who already have, or those who really want to, it can sometimes feel like you’re all alone. It can feel like you’re in over your head – that there are too many options and not many at all.

For those in that position, April 20 will mark an opportunity like no other – a panel discussion on “Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: Servicing Fast Growth Technology Start-Ups.” The panel will serve to answer a number of questions related to entrepreneurs in the Upstate, as well as to educate those in attendance about NEXT, an Upstate entrepreneurial resource collaborative for entrepreneurs, technology start-ups and high-growth companies.

Directly following the panel, NEXT will hold a press conference for a special announcement regarding the Anderson business community.

4 p.m.-5 p.m. Panel Discussion, hosted by Vincie Albritton

5 p.m. – 5:15 p.m. Press conference

5:15 – 6:30 Networking reception

So, mark your calendar for April 20, from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. Join us at the Anderson Arts Center (110 Federal Street, Anderson, SC). Business Black Box will be media sponsor of the event, along with sponsors Clemson University Research Foundation and the Anderson Chamber of Commerce.

To RSVP for the event, contact Ginger McKenzie by email or by calling (864) 239-3708. Reservations are due by Friday, April 17.
