This edition of Downtown Dialogues features a panel of new business owners who are bringing fresh ideas, energy, and perspectives to our community.

Panelists will share their experiences navigating the challenges of opening a business downtown — from construction and accessibility to finding partnerships and building neighborly connections. Join us for a candid conversation about what it takes to plant new roots in the heart of Missoula and why collaboration is key to thriving downtown.

Whether you’re a longtime business owner, a curious community member, or an aspiring entrepreneur, you’ll leave with valuable insights on the opportunities and hurdles facing Downtown’s next generation of leaders.
