Awards weekend over 1,000 entrepreneurs.

The L.E.G.A.C.Y.

Event Highlights Day 2 (Virtual Only):

As an added bonus, we are adding a second-day virtual component that will be focused on personal development.  As entrepreneurs, we are far too often so heavily invested in our businesses that we fail to nurture ourselves and our personal well-being. This second-day bonus is focused on developing YOU!  From health tips to self-care, goal setting and wealth management, we invite you to join us for a day focused on personal growth.  The stronger you are personally, the stronger your business will be.  (Attendee)
