October Pub Night, Northwest Entrepreneur Network

Pub Night is an event for NWEN members only, designed specifically for entrepreneurs to get together and share ideas, build networks and have a great time at a well-known Northwest brew-pub, FX McRory’s. This is your opportunity to meet other energetic, dynamic entrepreneurs and to hear their stories. Pub Night will allow five NWEN members to be in the limelight for three minutes each to talk about what they do and what they are looking for as entrepreneurs. The pressure will be on, as each member gets only the use of the microsoft (no powerpoint!) to briefly get across the focus of his or her new venture. It is sure to be both informative and entertaining for all. Two restrictions apply at all times: no talk about raising money and no suit coats or ties. Registration costs $20.
