There is still time to be part of Ignite Adams County, but registration is closing soon!

Participants will have the opportunity to learn, develop their business ideas, connect with other entrepreneurs, and prepare for a final pitch competition where they will compete for prize money.

You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. You simply need an idea, a willingness to learn, and a desire to take the next step. Ignite Adams County is an opportunity to turn that idea into something more developed, more prepared, and ready for what comes next.

Registration closes on Monday, October 5 at midnight!
