Military veterans are equipped with leads and opportunities when they complete their service. Life outside of their uniform may be challenging for some, especially those seeking the entrepreneurship path. The Military Influencer Conference (MIC) wants to be a source for those who served and are serious about launching their own business. The conference will be in Atlanta, GA, this fall. The MIC has sessions on content creation, culture and advocacy, and transition & hiring. The MIC wants to give military veterans new platoon members so they are not alone on the new battlefield of entrepreneurship.
“I want them to leave with new connections, but most importantly, I want them to leave with the concept that they’re not alone. In our service journey, we are typically surrounded by a platoon, a squad, or some team representing the organizational bond that comes with service. When we step out of the uniform, in most cases, we’re found on our own. I want people to leave with a new network from MIC and constant opportunities from that network,” said Curtez Riggs, founder of the Military Influencer Conference.
