In the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, One Spark,
Inc., One Spark Ventures and Bold Events, LLC have jointly decided to postpone
the One Spark 2017 Innovation Festival. This
year’s event has been rescheduled to take place in the spring of 2018 on
Friday, April 6 and Saturday, April 7, at EverBank Field. A kickoff concert will be hosted by Bold
Events at the new Daily’s Place amphitheater on Thursday, April 5.
Many communities across Florida and the Southeast, including Jacksonville,
suffered tremendous losses due to the storm, and will face financial, physical
and emotional hardships over the coming weeks and months. One Spark Creators were no exception as
challenges with storm preparation, evacuation and response prohibited many from
submitting or completing their applications to participate in this year’s
event. One Spark and Bold Events hope
that postponing the Innovation Festival until April will give potential
Creators the chance to recover and resume their work with the same passion,
energy and conviction needed to participate in the event.
From the start, the purpose of One Spark has been to develop both new businesses and a thriving community in Jacksonville where businesses can flourish. Hurricane Irma was a life-altering event for many individuals and businesses across the city, state and region, the effects of which will be felt for months to come.
“Community and people come first,” said Chad Johnson, Bold Events and Jacksonville Jaguars senior vice president of sales and services. “By postponing this year’s Innovation Festival, we can better serve the needs of the Jacksonville community. We look forward to a bigger and better One Spark at EverBank Field in a few short months.”
