Seeding Greatness Social: A Curated Networking Experience for Leaders Committed to Impact in 2026

Thursday, April 16 | 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM



Not all networking events are created equal.

Most event hosts mean well. They have heart. They bring great people together, which always creates magical moments. Yet, something beyond human effort happens when spaces are created with intention and a deep understanding of what releases human potential in a room. Especially when that group is culturally diverse, and the event is designed to create multiple outcomes for people attending.



Seeding Greatness Social is designed differently.

The goal is simple:

Create an environment where meaningful conversations happen naturally, and strategic connections follow.

Here's what you can expect:


1. Conscious Networking

Yes, we want you to make a ton of awesome connections. We make space for that. But this is not the “get your business card in as many hands as possible” event. Opportunity is an abundant resource. Whatever your business or you need to grow/expand: sales, partnerships, exposure, talent, services, you’ll find all that you need simply by being yourself in the room and going with the flow.

We make it easy to connect; the night includes:

· Light facilitation to help conversations go deeper than “What do you do?”

· Short speaker moments that frame meaningful dialogue

· Space for organic connection before and after

· Introverts feel comfortable.

· Extroverts feel energized.

· Everyone leaves having actually talked about something that matters and is relevant to them.



2. A deep sense of community where you can be your true self

These events draw all sorts of entrepreneurs and creators from different industries, as well as seasoned leaders of communities, because we’re all aligned to a bigger mission: impacting the world with all we have to give. That alignment shifts the energy of these events immediately. It feels safe. It feels abundant. There’s no scarcity, no jockeying or positioning.



3. Insight you can apply immediately

You’ll hear a concise leadership insight from award-winning storytelling coach and viral TEDx speaker Darryll Stinson.



4. The right mix of people

Expect roughly 100+ leaders in the room, including:

· Purpose-driven entrepreneurs

· Growth-minded executives

· Startup founders

· Creatives & community builders

· Professionals navigating reinvention

· Faith-forward leaders who want impact without losing integrity

This diversity is intentional.

Innovation and opportunity tend to emerge at the intersection of different industries, backgrounds, and perspectives.



The Theme: The Future of Work and IP 🔥🔥🔥



What You’ll Walk Away With

✔ Strategic connections aligned with your next move
✔ Conversations that expand how you think
✔ Fresh perspective on leadership and opportunity
✔ A sense of clarity and momentum
✔ A values-aligned local community you can return to



Evening Flow (For the Detail-Oriented Folks)

5:45 PM – Doors open, light bites & refreshments

6:00 PM – Facilitated networking begins

7:00 PM – Short talks and insights on the Future of IP and Work

8:00 PM – Open networking & collaboration

We conclude by 8:30 PM, with space for after-glow and connections.
