2023 IES Minnesota Regional

About the Event:

You are cordially invited to the 2023 IES Minnesota Regional!

This will be our third year hosting the Immigrant Entrepreneurs Summit in the Twin Cities! During this day-long event, you can expect connections with other immigrants, BIPOC business owners, and those in the community who want to engage and support entrepreneurship.

Summit Components:

1) Celebration – IES recognizes the work of incredible immigrant entrepreneurs. It emphasizes the impact of immigrants in the community and gives role models of success from their stories

2) Connection – IES helps to bring down the barriers to give opportunities for people of different backgrounds to meet, get to know each other’s business and services, and start building a relationship through exhibitor booths and networking opportunities.

3) Education – Provide workshops with a variety of different business topics, from how to start a business, compliance, taxes, marketing and more. We anticipate 9-12 workshops to be held.

Workshops and speaker schedules will be updated closer to the time of the event.

Sponsorship & Exhibitor Opportunities are available. Contact us to learn more!
