The fourth annual Innovate Montana Symposium is taking place in Butte this week, which means state and local leaders, along with entrepreneurs from across the state and country, will be listening to a lineup of speakers who organizers hope will get them so pumped they’ll feel like charging through a brick wall.

Although the symposium officially got underway Monday with trolley tours of the Mining City and an awards dinner for Montana Ambassadors, the event began in earnest Tuesday afternoon with a welcoming speech by Gov. Steve Bullock.
