The resounding success of EMERGE The Show is still ringing in our ears, and it's left us with great optimism for the future. Our recent event was a spectacular celebration of local talent and innovation, and we are immensely grateful for the support of our attendees, sponsors, and partners.
So, will there be an EMERGE The Show in 2024?
The answer is not a simple 'yes' or 'no.' While we're thrilled with the proof of concept, we're exploring various avenues to continue our mission of empowering local businesses, impacting the local economy, and providing educational opportunities.
The future holds possibilities for tradeshow events, educational conferences, and more, all aimed at positively building up small brands. Your enthusiasm and support can shape the direction we take. Stay tuned for updates on our next steps.
