Description
On the first Friday of every month, join us to hear the savvy, successful business owners + entrepreneurs of Des Moines share their story. In a laid-back environment, you’ll catch some words of wisdom from women + men who have been through it before—and maybe walk away with a new connection (or two).
Sessions are completely free and open to the public, and are held from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm, with networking from 11:30 am to noon. This First Friday will be held at The Greater Des Moines Partnership, 700 Locust Street, Ste 100, Des Moines, IA 50309. Seating is first come, first served. Lunch is not provided, though we encourage you to bring your own if you'd like.
