This drop-in style event will showcase the work of NCGrowth and the Kenan Institute for Private Enterprise, partners of the UNC Kenan-Flager Business School. Stations will be set up spotlighting client projects with small businesses and communities, new economic research initiatives, and student involvement. Tribally-led tourism development, outdoor recreation economies, Hurricane Helene recovery, and small manufacturers innovating in rural North Carolina – these are a few topics you can expect to dive into!

Lunch will be available for the first 100 attendees. The event is part of Carolina Engagement Week.
