What happens when we really listen to small business owners across Western Massachusetts? This drop-in event is your chance to explore what they told us.Join The Sphere, alongside partners Common Capital and Living Local 413, as we share findings from our regional research study (generously funded by Liberty Bank) focused on the real barriers entrepreneurs face today.
There’s no formal presentation and no set agenda. Instead, come browse, ask questions, and engage with others at your own pace.
Grab a professionally designed catalog by Chantelle Davis-Gray, featuring the published research findings. They'll be available to take with you.
View posters and visual data displays highlighting key insights
Read powerful pull-quotes from focus groups that will be on display, bringing lived experiences front and center.
And because good conversation deserves good snacks:
We’ll be serving a delicious spread of locally made cookies from Pause & Pivot Farm—a sweet nod to the fact that cookies were originally invented by women as practical test cakes (kitchen genius, honestly). Milk included, of course!
This event is free and open to the public. Drop in anytime between 11AM and 1PM. All are welcome!
