An evening with Tom McCaffery's Wake Up Call exhibit, exploring the leap from BigCo to building your own path.
About this Event

Most of us have felt that quiet nudge telling us it might be time for something different, and the hard part usually isn't hearing it but working up the trust to act on it.

That's the heart of Renaissance of the Entrepreneur, a LAB (Life After BigCo) event built around Tom McCaffery's Wake Up Call exhibit, transformational artwork that tells the story of a career in transition. Tom spent his career in manufacturing and government policy while carrying his art alongside it, and this evening makes that journey visible through the pull to create, the leap to something new, and what it takes to bet on yourself.

It's exactly the conversation Life After BigCo is about. Leaving the title and the safety of a big company is daunting, and it's also where the most interesting chapters start. If you've been putting off your own next move, come determine what it looks like.

What to Expect:
The evening opens with a chance to settle in before Tom walks guests through several of his anchor pieces and the stories behind them. From there the format shifts into a live conversation with Tom, followed by time to talk, ask questions, and mingle before the night wraps up.

Early bird $30
