START UP GRIND AND INNOVATION WEEK
From the beginning, Start Up Grind Calgary has endeavored to bring unique speakers to the stage to share their personal entrepreneurial journeys. It's easy to become an entrepreneur, it's hard to stay one. We know that community is a key component to keeping entrepreneurs on the track to success. For YYC Innovation Week, we are bringing Calgary leaders to the stage to share personal journeys on how innovating has helped their organizations grow, in Canada and beyond.
