With 1.3 million Veterans returning from active duty back into civilian society, it is essential to create a local framework that supports Veterans in earning careers and starting businesses.

The purpose of this event is to provide each of its participants with empowering information through a series of engagements with government, institutional, corporate, and successful military veteran businessmen and women. But just as important, the weekend events are organized to incubate you, your dreams & visions for a better America through the entrepreneurial spirit.

We believe that successful communities are built through the entrepreneurial spirit and that spirit is developed utilizing a solid blend of collaborative partners, comprising business, government, academia and philanthropy…Today, we incorporate you, our military Veterans, as a key factor in rebuilding the American Dream.
