The monthly community based event brings together successful local business people with enthusiastic aspiring entrepreneurs giving them the opportunity to learn from some of the best. The event is organized by Evan Dizak as well as the non-profit organization Community Futures. Thus far the social has been well received in the community as there is no cost to attend.
With more than 20 people taking in the event, space can be tight for the round table type discussion with the guest speakers. Previous speakers have included Shane Austin, one of the founders of the Okanagan Co+Lab and Donnie Ungaro, from Culinary Ink.
