Get connected to resources for your Detroit business at BizGrid Live on Oct. 21

Last year, the BizGrid, an interactive online directory and a physical infographic, was launched to help entrepreneurs navigate the landscape of organizations providing business assistance in Detroit.

On Oct. 21, the BizGrid comes to life during an afternoon's worth of events at Wayne State University's McGregor Conference Center.

The events include four interactive breakout sessions and a resource fair where you can learn how BizGrid organizations can help advance your business goals. Jacques Panis, president of Shinola, will deliver the keynote address.

Panel topics include:

- Designing and Developing Your Idea
- Growing Your Neighborhood Business
- Building Your Team
- Designing and Making Your Product

BizGrid Live is a free event and will take place from 1 to 6 p.m. Click here to register.

The event is sponsored by New Economy Initiative, The Front Door at Wayne State University, and Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses.
