Ft Wayne EmPower Breakfast
March 26 at 7 am
Register now for the March emPower Breakfast! Our speaker will be Richard Gripp of Ignite - Certified Brand Strategist.
Why We Are Different
Focused on You: From Featured Speakers to table conversations, many people have a chance to speak at an emPower Breakfast. Experts, Sponsors, regular attendees … and You! We try to give everyone a chance to share their stories…
An Intimate Event: We aren’t looking for hundreds to attend - our events feel like you could meet everyone if you tried.
Non-commercial: The emPower Breakfast does not promote any specific product, the presentations are not sales pitches. Our monthly event is non-membership and public; focused on fun and relationship building.
We finish on time: We pace our event quickly, so there’s never a dull moment!
Register now for the March emPower Breakfast!
