The full-day, festival-style event will be held in Cleveland's booming Flats East Bank neighborhood. Over the course of the day, more than 50 different workshops, panels, sessions and networking events will occur in 13 different spaces throughout the area.
New features for 2019 include sessions focused specifically on the experiences of Latinx entrepreneurs, an emerging track for students and founders who are just getting started in their entrepreneurial journey and a "Pick Your Panel" session, where event attendees select who they want to see on stage from a group of 10 finalists.
"Our city, region and state are working harder and more closely than ever before to create a welcoming climate where all entrepreneurs have the support they need to grow their businesses," said JumpStart CEO Ray Leach. "Startup Scaleup is a place where these entrepreneurs can connect directly with the many people and organizations dedicated to helping them succeed while gaining insights from industry experts and meeting others who are on a similar entrepreneurial journey."
"The connectivity piece of this event is what really makes it special," added JumpStart President Cathy Belk. "It goes beyond conversations and information sharing and actively works to create spaces where entrepreneurs can form new and meaningful relationships with potential advisors, investors, customers, employees and each other."
In addition to the traditionally strong lineup of local entrepreneurs, small business owners, investors and support organizations, this year's event will also feature several guest speakers from outside Northeast Ohio.
Highlighted sessions include:
Tickets for the June 19 event are $20 and include a $15 lunch voucher, as well as a $5 snack voucher redeemable at various local food spots in the Flats East Bank.
