Pop-Up Events for Businesses
Connect with Business Support and Resources
The Town of Tillsonburg, in partnership with local business support organizations, hosts Business Services Pop-Up Events twice a year in the spring and fall.
These free, in-person events give entrepreneurs and business owners an opportunity to connect with business advisors, economic development partners and service providers all in one place - right here in Tillsonburg.
Whether you are starting a business, looking for support, planning your next step or simply want to connect with local resources, the Pop-Up Events are an opportunity to ask questions, explore available programs and make valuable connections.
