About this Event
What does it take to build a brand that makes things better?
Our Founder Series continues on November 10, bringing our community together to hear from people building businesses and brands with purpose.
We’ll explore the experiences behind the work: what sparked the idea, the choices that shaped it, the challenges along the way and how founders turn their values into action.
Our featured speaker will be announced soon. Expect an honest conversation, ideas you can bring into your own work and time to connect with people who care about making a positive difference.
Whether you’re building a business, supporting a local cause or looking for your next way to contribute, you’re welcome here.

Why Attend
As the digital world grows noisier and we increasingly question what’s real, what’s human or AI, true or fabricated, what we’ll crave most are things that are tangible and trustworthy. That’s why in-person communities are becoming more vital than ever: spaces where real people gather, connect, and act together.
