ABOUT THE SOLOCEOS LOUNGE
Solopreneurship can be lonely – but it doesn’t have to be. Are you ready to build a supportive community to help navigate the challenges and triumphs of being a SoloCEO? Do you yearn for space to explore how to enhance your business without compromising on the things that matter most?
The SoloCEOs Lounge is your sanctuary to connect with like-minded solopreneurs. This isn’t just another networking event; it’s a curated space for real and relevant conversations where solopreneurs connect, inspire, and grow.
At The SoloCEOs Lounge we have little interest in awkward small talk and “working the room.” Instead, this is a place to share ideas, seek advice, bond over difficulties, and learn from the collective wisdom of your peers.
In honor of our venue, the beautiful Ideas Studio at the IIDA, this SoloCEOs Lounge theme is Idea Exchange. Bring a list of the things that you need for your business or life. Are you looking for:
-
- A good accountant?
- Help writing a book?
- Office space?
- A stress-free vacation spot?
- Someone to talk to who is also building a business while being a caregiver?
- The world’s best margarita recipe?
Whatever it is, bring it to the Lounge and we’ll do some crowdsourcing. You’ll leave The SoloCEOs Lounge with new connections, valuable insights, and the resources to propel your business forward.
Learn. Build. Create.
