Great Gratitude Get Together
Part book launch, part community celebration, and a whole lot of gratitude.
Join Aneela Idnani, founder of HabitAware and longtime member of Minnesota's startup and tech community, for a happy hour celebrating the people, relationships, and unexpected connections that helped shape her journey.
As Aneela looks back on building HabitAware and the experiences that inspired her new book Aneela, Where Are Your Eyebrows?: A Memoir of Healing Trichotillomania to Find Peace and Purpose, one thing keeps coming up: none of it happened alone.
There were introductions that led somewhere unexpected. Friends who opened doors. Communities that showed up. People who offered an idea, connection, encouragement, or helping hand at exactly the right moment.
This event is meant to bring those people together to celebrate.
What to expect
We'll kick things off with time to grab a drink, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet some new ones. Around 6:15 PM, we'll pause for a 30min program, including a reading from Aneela's new book, conversation about her journey, and time for audience Q&A.
5:30 PM — Doors open + mingling
6:15 PM — Short program with Aneela
6:45 PM — More connecting + celebration
7:30 PM — Event wraps
Bonus: Join the #mntech community for coworking from 8am-5pm before the event. Register here.
We'll have light bites and non-alcoholic drinks available throughout the evening. Books will also be available and Aneela will be around to sign copies, connect and celebrate.
Whether you've been part of Aneela's journey, are connected to Minnesota's startup and tech community, or simply appreciate a good story about the people who help make big things possible, we'd love to have you there.
Space is limited, so please register if you plan to join us!
Make a day of it!
Coworking was part of Aneela's entry into the local tech scene, and Coco has been a gathering place for so many in #mntech over the years — so it's only fitting to spend the day coworking together before an evening celebrating connection and community.
Join Minnestar for Community Coworking at Coco from 8 AM–5 PM on November 4. Drop in anytime to work alongside fellow community members, meet some new folks, or just enjoy a change of scenery before the evening festivities!
Coworking is free, but separate registration is required. Register for Community Coworking →
