We Mean Business

To encourage meaningful engagement among attendees, guests will participate in an interactive Networking Bingo activity. Participants will receive a bingo card with prompts designed to spark conversation and help attendees meet new people throughout the event.

Examples may include:

• Find someone who owns a business
• Meet someone in corporate leadership
• Connect with someone launching a new venture
• Meet a student entrepreneur

Guests who complete the activity will be eligible to win prizes donated by event vendors, including products, services, and gift cards.

A highlight of the evening will be the Forever Girlfriends Shark Tank Like–Style Business Pitch Competition, where women entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to present their business ideas for a $500 small business grant.
