The Knoxville Chamber of Commerce will hold two events this week. First is the Business Builder Expo on Thursday evening. Director Emma Skahill says this is an event for entrepreneurs to gain insight from business leaders on growing their business.

“This is perfect for anyone who’s looking to start a business or grow their existing business. So if you have an idea you’ve been toying around with, if you’re looking to hire or grow your team, this is perfect for you. Anyone who’s wanting to see some growth should attend, whether it’s starting or expanding your business.”

This event will be held virtually via Zoom, with registration required.

On Friday, the chamber will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at Freedom for Youth Knoxville. This event was postponed from February 4th due to severe winter weather. That event begins at 5:15 p.m. at the Freedom for Youth Headquarters on the Knoxville square.
