Work in a team of peer business owners who will serve as your advisory board for the two days. Test your new ideas through feedback from different perspectives. 

We learn best when we are inspired. By success, failiure, by learning from what others had to go through. People who will selfelssly share their experience are phenomenal local business owners.
