SouthPark Small Business Learning Series 2026
Presented in partnership with SouthPark Community Partners and made possible by the Truist Championship
This fall, we're bringing together small business owners in the SouthPark community for a three-part series on the stuff that actually moves the needle — getting your business in front of the right people, building a team that works well together, and using AI to streamline your day-to-day.
Each session is led by a local expert, designed to be practical and hands-on, and built for business owners at any stage. No fluff, no theory you'll never use. Just real tools you can put to work the next day.
