Initiatives & Events
REV proves markets where others may not believe they exist. Events are a powerful tool to show the potential of places, programs and businesses. REV’s register of initiatives and events changes as the city changes. Here’s what we’re doing now:
BUSINESS GROWTH WORKSHOPS
Small businesses are essential to vibrant commercial districts. Whether you have an idea you’ve not yet executed or a business that’s ready to grow, the REV Business Growth Team offers programming to meet the needs of businesses in all stages.
EPIC CITY RUSH
It’s a scavenger hunt! It’s a community clean-up! It’s a cash-prize competition! Mostly, Epic City Rush is a fun way to spend a day — specifically Sunday, October 6, 2019 — in downtown B’ham.
SOCIALVENTURE
Converted in 2013 from vacant warehouse to offices rich in industrial vibe, SocialVenture is a co-working space, meeting space and change-making space in the heart of Woodlawn.
THE BIG PITCH
The Big Pitch presented by PNC showcases Birmingham’s up-and-coming small business owners. The Big Pitch gives a platform for individuals to show their passion, grow as entrepreneurs, and become pillars in their own communities.
