Keynote speeches will be delivered by two influential figures in the region: Jeffrey Lunde, Commissioner of Hennepin County, and Hollies Winston, Mayor of Brooklyn Park. These speakers will provide insights on how local businesses can access crucial capital—one of the most important factors for expansion and innovation.
