Over 500 participants gathered at the Mill & Mine in Knoxville, Tennessee for the second annual Endeavor Young Professional’s Summit 2017 sponsored by the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce.

It was an honor to return as emcee of the event where I had the privilege of introducing community leaders, speakers and guests. The lineup of breakout session leaders and keynote speakers included entrepreneurs, local business executives, public speakers, and business savvy professionals. The theme of this year’s Endeavor Summit was “amplify your impact.”

Throughout the full-day event, individuals were encouraged to complete a service-to-go project of filling an “enrichment treat” for the animals at Zoo Knoxville.

The day concluded with a social hour where participants were invited to mix and mingle with young professionals, visit partner booths, and celebrate the day with live music and festivities.
