Featured Programming: Guest Speaker Series
Hear directly from the voices shaping our startup community. The Guest Speaker Series brings founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders to share their stories, lessons, and bold visions for the future. These conversations go beyond business strategies—they’re about the power of community, the connections that change a founder’s path, and the shared belief that startups can transform industries and our region.
Not your average networking.
Come as you are and connect with others who believe in building together. These sessions are about more than swapping business cards—they’re about finding encouragement, sharing experiences, and building a support system with fellow founders, investors, and community members. Whether you’re new to the ecosystem or a familiar face, you’ll leave with relationships that remind you you’re not building alone.
