We had 32 people in attendance. WAKE UP, REV UP (EDUCATIONAL) - CABARRUS CENTER FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP & INNOVATION This event was held at a new co-working, innovation center in Downtown Concord. The program was fo- cused on giving our partners updates on downtown renovations and new projects planned for Gibson Mill. Also, because The Cabarrus Center hosted this event, they were given the opportunity to open the meeting telling the group about their organization. At the beginning of the meeting, everyone was given the op- portunity to introduce themselves and to briefly talk about their business. We had 16 people in attendance. FUSE (NETWORKING) - KODIAK COCKTAIL BAR AND MUSIC LOUNGE This was an opportunity for partners to connect and discuss potential collaboration and to learn what other partners have to offer. Kodiak just opened and because they were hosting the event, they were given the opportunity to address the group and talk about their concept. We had 23 people in attendance.
