Join us for Small Business Week: Legacy of the Peak, a celebration of the entrepreneurs who shape our community. This dynamic week is filled with opportunities to connect, learn, and grow, from honoring visionary business leaders to exploring cutting-edge innovations and championing small business success.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, bridging the past and future—where time-honored traditions meet bold new ideas. This year, we pay tribute to the trailblazers who built our region and the next generation of entrepreneurs who are redefining what’s possible.
