2026 Brand Builder

In their own words...

I’m back from #minneapolis after a great experience at #efest2022. Congrats to the teams that won prizes…all of them. $215k in total! Wow. Also, a great experience for my students and myself. I’m humbled by how great these students are and how well they all performed. This generation is poised for leadership and great things!

Thomas Coke – e-Fest 2022 Advisor

I believe that E-Fest made me realize that I truly am an entrepreneur and that I was really born and molded to this. I am a problem-solver at heart and can use these skills to make our world a better place. I have really stepped into this purpose/calling and am more bold as a business leader and owner.
