Host an Event
Your organization can join in celebrating America’s 250th startup birthday by hosting events throughout the year. It’s free and easy. We give you the tools. You can turn any event – whether a conference, a networking event, or even just a small gathering in someone’s home – into a celebration for America's startup birthday that’s part of a national movement to renew the entrepreneurial spirit.
These events connect your organization to a bigger shared national purpose. Whether your organization coordinates one major event, dozens of smaller ones, or just a simple house party, every celebration helps to engage Americans about the importance of entrepreneurship, renew the country’s entrepreneurial promise, and builds a base of support for entrepreneurs.
