Ignite Your Morning: A Discussion on Tariffs

Tariffs are back in the headlines — but what do changing trade policies actually mean for local businesses, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, retailers, and consumers here in southeastern Minnesota?

Join IgniteMN for a practical community discussion exploring how tariffs can impact supply chains, pricing, technology, agriculture, customer spending, and long-term business planning — even for businesses that don’t directly import products.

This conversation will feature perspectives from business leaders and advocates, including Beth Benike, founder of Busy Baby and entrepreneur advocate, along with representatives connected to the Main Street Alliance, bringing insight into how shifting economic policy may affect small businesses and growing companies alike.

Whether you’re already seeing impacts in your business or simply trying to better understand what may be ahead, this session is designed to help you ask questions, share perspectives, and stay informed.

☕ Coffee and conversation included.

No politics. No fearmongering. Just a thoughtful discussion about what local businesses should be watching.
