Agenda
Over the course of three half-day sessions, you can expect to hear expert speakers present on the future of infrastructure and other emerging industry innovations. Day two will lend itself to unpacking three modes of transportation and what’s to come in the next five years. We’ll cap the event with a focused launch of The Greenwood Project, a reimagined Black Wall Street, and a comprehensive look at small businesses creating a path forward for growth under the new administration’s infrastructure plan. The Greenwood Project will serve as a Small Business Ecosystem where collaboration, engagement, and growth potential merge on its own virtual platform.
