Description

TAG/ADTC Entrepreneurs has decided to highlight our local "rock star" entrepreneurs this year. These are individuals who have taken their idea and turned it into success on a grand scale in Georgia. This is a great opportunity to hear lessons learned, best practices and things to avoid from the individuals who have been there themselves.
