Cliffton’s Room - Blind Business Networking | Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Founders & Freelancers Edition
Cliffton's Room - Business Owners & Founders Edition // Chiang Mai
“Cliffton's Room” is a 2-hour in-person immersive experience where everyone wears special cloudy glasses that simulate low-vision conditions. For one magical evening, physical appearance disappears - and real vision, authentic energy, innovative thinking, and genuine connection take center stage.
Whether you're looking to build strategic partnerships, find your co-founder, network with like-minded entrepreneurs, or discover untapped business opportunities - it's for every ambitious business owner and founder ready to connect on substance over appearance! Come experience how it feels to collaborate with someone's brilliance before you ever see their face… and leave with a whole new perspective on business, innovation, and human connection.
Inspired by Cliffton, a young South-African Thai entrepreneur, and his lived reality with glaucoma and adult vision loss & his own journey to building meaningful business relationships.
What if you couldn't see titles, logos, or first impressions…
...and had to connect with entrepreneurs using all your senses except for sight.
Would you still recognize a great idea or partner?
See with your mind, passion and vision, not your appearance.
What to expect:
- Opening remarks by special guest entrepreneurs
- Guided ice-breakers & speed-connecting rounds focused on ideas, values, and business vision
- Intimate group size (max 20 guests)
- Educational moments about glaucoma and life with low vision
- Matching Ceremony to find your ideal collaborators
- Final "big reveal" moment when glasses come off
- A safe, respectful, easy-going space for authentic entrepreneurial connection
- Cheeky group photos & discussions
