SUMMARY:Campfire is back
DESCRIPTION:Campfire is back.\nOn Thursday\, August 13\, we’re bringing Campfire back to Tech Ranch. \nCampfire has always been about something simple: getting the right people in the room and helping them move something forward. \nOver the years\, I’ve watched one introduction lead to a customer\, a partner\, a new market\, or the answer someone had been stuck looking for. That’s the kind of thing we want to create more of. \nSo this won’t be a typical networking event. You don’t need a polished pitch\, and you don’t need to work the room. \nCome ready to talk about what you’re building and what you need right now. \nWe’ll hear from entrepreneurs in the room\, look for the connections that matter\, and help people find the two or three conversations that could make a real difference. \nSome people will come because they’ve been part of Tech Ranch for years. Others will be walking through the door for the first time. Both are welcome. \nBring your venture. Bring the thing you’re stuck on. Bring your willingness to help someone else\, too. \nThursday\, August 13\n6:00–8:00 PM\nTech Ranch\, 535 E 5th Street\nFree to attend · Limited to 75 people \nPull up a chair and be part of the first Campfire back. \nReserve your spot and come build the relationships that can move your venture forward. \nCampfire will continue monthly\, usually on the second Wednesday\, alternating between in-person and virtual. August 13 is a one-time Thursday relaunch.
