This Week in 757 (Events) - June 30, 2025

A curated list of upcoming business and innovation events in the 757.

June 30, 2025

When we first launched the newsletter several years ago, we had to sift through the region’s calendars to find enough meetups for our businesses and residents to attend. Today, there’s an abundance of events happening every single day.

We have heard your feedback, and we’ll continue to share those events with you, but we’ll do so in a more concise, snippet-style format. It’s our #1 goal to ensure we’re delivering the most useful updates to your inbox every Monday and Friday.

I see this is a huge win for our region. We’ve gone from just a few events each month to so many happening daily that you actually have to choose between them. That’s something worth celebrating.
