​The experience:

• ​Arena Matches: Curated matches connecting you with the most relevant attendees aligned with your goals, experience, and interests

• ​Relaxed conversations: A chill environment designed for meaningful connections (not just quick handshakes)

• ​Fireside chat - How Industry Leaders Actually Use Tentpole Weeks: Hear more about which events are worth it, what makes a convo worth a follow-up, and how real opportunities start
