Roll out the red carpet and join us for a magical evening!

When the interview and selection process concludes, the entrepreneurial companies with the best potential for growth will be honored at our 2014 EntreVision Finale awards dinner celebration at The Standard. CEOs, successful entrepreneurs, professionals, venture capitalists, and supporters of our honorees are invited to spend the evening with the award winners. The evening will be a highly charged experiential learning time of celebrating and critiquing different aspects of the winning companies in the spirit of our "Grow in Circles" vision. As they gain wisdom and advice on how to minimize potential risks and grow their businesses, honorees will have the opportunity to connect and learn from some of the best minds in East Tennessee...and so will you!

Spouses and team members from your company are welcome! Let's pour into these budding entrepreneurs and build up the next generation of entrepreneurship in Knoxville together! This is unlike any other awards night you have ever attended.

We will host a Meet & Greet reception with our quarterfinalists starting at 6:00 p.m. The Awards Dinner & Celebration will begin at 7:00 p.m.
