SUMMARY:Deep Ellum Mural Hunt
DESCRIPTION:How it works \n\n\n\n\nTeams of 2 to 6. Every team needs one phone and one adult.\n\n\n\nFind the murals below. At each one\, take a team selfie with the mural clearly visible behind you. That is your proof. Noselfie\, no points.\n\n\n\nSend every selfie as you go. Timestamps count.\n\n\n\nBe back at the rally point by 9:00 AM sharp. Late teams lose 5 points per minute. Awards at 9:15. Everyone gone by9:30.\n\n\n\nWalk on sidewalks\, cross at corners\, stay on Elm\, Main\, Commerce and the cross streets listed. Do not enter privateproperty\, fenced alleys\, or the underpass beneath I-345.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRules that matter \n\n\n\n\nKids stay with their adult. Adults stay with the team.\n\n\n\nPhotos are for the hunt only. [[STATE PHOTO POLICY: for example\, no photo with a child in it is posted withoutwritten permission from the parent]]\n\n\n\nIf a mural on this list is gone or covered\, take a selfie at the address anyway and note it. You still get the points.\n\n\n\nHave fun. It is 7 AM on a Thursday and you are standing in front of elephants.

SUMMARY:Veterans Summit 2026

Whether you are still in the “pre-launch” phase or ready to scale a multi-million dollar enterprise\, this session provides the strategy and connections necessary to win.   \n\n\n\nLEARN HOW TO:\n\n\n\n\nObtain a clear\, step-by-step checklist for obtaining and leveraging SDVOSB and VOSB certifications to win lucrative government set-aside contracts. \n\n\n\nUse a comprehensive directory of veteran-friendly lenders and SBA 7(a) resources tailored to your specific business stage.\n\n\n\nEstablish direct lines of communication with local mentors\, resource partners (VBOC/SBA)\, and a peer-support network of fellow veteran founders.\n\n\n\nUse a refined capability statement that translates military experience into a value proposition that resonates with civilian stakeholders and corporate partners.\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here:https://georgiasbdc.org/training-program/0852-001-gwi-veterans-summit-2026/
