Our team is particularly excited about the “Build your brand Smarter” panel, led by Dooley Tombras. This will be super relevant to our team since we’ve been running the Brancamp program at KEC this summer focusing on developing branding for a local Knoxville company.
On top of a killer lineup this year, there are some other interesting features including a Women’s Lounge, Investor Networking, and a live pitch competition.
We’ll see you there!
