Now Foundation

Invest in yourself and your business this Saturday at the NOW Foundation Quarterly Symposium!

Growing a business takes more than talent. Understanding your finances, using AI effectively, and building strong professional relationships can help you make better decisions and create more opportunities.

This symposium brings together business owners, creatives, and aspiring entrepreneurs to explore financial literacy, AI literacy, and interpersonal skills for small business success. Through an engaging speaker panel and practical workshops, attendees will gain insights they can apply to their businesses, ask questions, and connect with experienced professionals and fellow entrepreneurs.

Learn from experienced professionals and connect with people who could become your next collaborator, client, or resource.
