Are you a downtown business owner, resident, or just a lover of downtown in general?
This is your chance to hear about what's going on in downtown Joplin! Join us for this casual quarterly event to learn about what's happening now (including some exciting new business openings on the horizon!) and what to expect in the months to come, while checking out one of downtown's coolest event spaces, cocktail joint, and more, The Main Event, at 611 S Main St!
In September, Andy Griffith, from Solo Link IO will present on "Main Street vs Wall Street: Who Wins in the Age of Ai? 6 Tools To Help Small Businesses Compete, Thrive, and Out-Innovate the Giants". You don't want to miss it! ***We are fortunate to be able to reschedule this presentation after having to postpone it in July.
You can also enjoy a brief presentation from City of Joplin staff on the planned downtown streetscaping project, and the future of the 600 block parking lot and Pennsylvania viaduct.
Doors open at 5pm for networking and cocktails, with the main presentation starting around 5:30pm.
Thanks to Verts for sponsoring September's event!
Enjoy light snacks and beverages and talk to other downtown business operators, residents, and downtown supporters. It's also the perfect opportunity to find out what's coming up on the Downtown Joplin Alliance calendar for the Holiday season and how you can get involved with the organization!
