Format: The event consists of two main activities:  
Lunch with mentors:
  • Entrepreneurs will consecutively rotate over various tables where they will be matched with new mentors and fellow entrepreneurs.
  • Each table will host a discussion for about 45 minutes about a unique challenge that is relevant to the entrepreneurs.
  • At the end of the lunch, entrepreneurs will have built deep connections with a large number of mentors and fellow entrepreneurs in a short amount of time.

The Unconference Session: 
  • Unlike typical conferences, there will be no set topic list. Entrepreneurs will get to pitch topics and attend sessions that they are passionate about.
  • Essentially, attendees will nominate topics that they'd like to discuss in breakout groups. All attendees can pitch topics and then vote on the options to determine the final sessions.
  • The most popular sessions will be turned into informal group discussions, with the nominees as leaders.
