Beyond the Panel: Event Formats That Center Entrepreneurs and Build Trust in Your Ecosystem

Most ecosystem events default to the same format: a panel, a keynote, maybe a fireside chat if someone's feeling ambitious. But the format you choose determines what actually happens in the room, whether people leave with a business card or a real connection, a passive nod or a solved problem.

Join Anika Horn, host of the Ecosystems for Change podcast and author of It Takes a Valley, for a working session on the event formats that build trust and get entrepreneurs unstuck: hot seats, peer mentoring, speed mentoring, and more, each with the purpose, format, and a real example from the field. This is a hands-on session. Come ready to map a format onto your own next event.
