What Makes You So Special:

It's not an expo. It's not a panel. And hot damn, it's not a workshop. "It's a celebration of the small businesses in the city and all the entrepreneurs that work so hard in keeping their businesses growing," says Naik. As part of Philadelphia Entrepreneurship Week, the happy hour features drink specials, live music by West Philly's The Great Unknown and a chance for business owners to rub elbows. "Other events during the week are more structured and formal, but for this one we wanted to create an environment where anyone can show up. It's just about bringing people together to spotlight entrepreneurship."
