- **Event Description**: Looking for more than small talk? These events bring together entrepreneurs, business owners, mentors, and community partners for connection that leads to action.

Each event features a live challenge session, where an entrepreneur from the region shares a real business challenge and invites the group into collaborative brainstorming, problem-solving, and resource connection. Participants contribute insights, ask clarifying questions, and help surface practical next steps, making every gathering both interactive and immediately useful.

These events also offer a low-pressure way to learn more about The Advancement Foundation’s broader entrepreneurial programs, including The Quest and The Gauntlet, and how they support businesses at different stages. Whether you come to share experience, explore collaboration, or simply listen and learn, you’ll leave with new connections and ideas you can put to work.
