The Business Exchange


Saturday, June 28th | 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM

KORE | 585 Franklin Gateway SE, Marietta, GA


Where small business meets big opportunity.


The Business Exchange is more than just a pop-up or a networking mixer—it’s a full-scale experience designed to connect entrepreneurs, educate dreamers, and fuel growth for the next wave of business leaders. Whether you’re shopping, networking, or attending exclusive masterclasses, this event is your access point to community, collaboration, and clarity.



💼 What You’ll Experience:


🛍️ Vendor Marketplace


From the moment doors open, explore a curated marketplace of 15–20 local small business vendors. Shop products, discover services, and build relationships with entrepreneurs doing real work in our community. This is your chance to support Black-owned, woman-owned, and purpose-driven brands all in one place.


🎤 Elevator Pitch Competition (2:30 PM)


Watch (or participate in) a fast-paced, high-energy pitch battle where selected entrepreneurs get 60 seconds to sell their business to the room. Prizes, exposure, and bragging rights are on the line.


🤝 Speed Networking (3:00 PM & 6:00 PM)


Build new connections—fast. In these guided networking rounds, you’ll have a chance to meet fellow business owners, potential clients, collaborators, and even mentors. Bring your cards, your voice, and your value.


📚 Masterclass Series (Ticketed Only – 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM)


Hosted in a separate, focused space, our three exclusive masterclasses are designed to deliver tactical wisdom, spiritual inspiration, and real-world strategy to help you grow. Each class is 30 minutes of powerful, practical teaching:

    •    Sales Masterclass – Learn how to close more deals, connect with your audience, and build a repeatable sales process.

    •    Branding Masterclass – Understand how to position your business, create magnetic messaging, and stand out in a crowded market.

    •    Wealth Building Masterclass – Discover how to shift your mindset, structure your finances, and start building real generational wealth.


Only ticketed guests may attend these sessions—space is limited.
