Strike Something Bigger

What is Spark Week?

Every business has a spark. Let's find yours.

Spark Week is a four-day regional conference for entrepreneurs and small business owners across the Siouxland tri-state area (western Iowa, northeast Nebraska, and southeast South Dakota).

Most business owners are sitting on possibilities inside their own companies they haven't yet recognized, and Spark Week is built to help you find them.

You'll hear from keynote speakers, dig into hands-on breakout sessions, watch the Venture School pitch competition, and connect with entrepreneurs and resource partners from across the region.

This is where possibility starts. Join us November 10-13 in downtown Sioux City.

Tues, Nov 10

Evening Resource Mixer: Connect with the ecosystem builders and connectors who can help move your business forward
