The Oxford-Lafayette County Economic Development Foundation (EDF) in partnership with the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council is pleased to announce the kickoff the Big Bad Business Series!
The Big Bad Business Series is an entrepreneurial development initiative born out of a partnership between the Oxford-Lafayette County Economic Development Foundation and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. The goal is to cultivate a network where entrepreneurs, students, and artists can find needed resources for any stage of the business life cycle. Through interactive business development workshops, participants are able to connect, share ideas, and learn new skills. By providing a central hub of interconnected entrepreneurs and business development resources, local startups can quickly fill the gaps and gain the knowledge they need to grow their venture. There is no cost to participate, but registration is required.
