Entrepreneur Unplugged (5:30PM)

Head over to CVBI on Wednesday, March 12, for the continuation of Entrepreneur Unplugged - the ultimate, unscripted, unedited face-to-face-with-an-entrepreneur experience. The concept for Entrepreneur Unplugged is simple - just the person, in their jeans, telling their story - no walls, no filters, no planned remarks. You'll be able to "get up-close-and-personal" with the region's most successful entrepreneurs. You'll hear about their successes, and more importantly, their failures, and everything in between.

Entrepreneur Unplugged is a free event providing pizza and beer at CVBI's Launching Pad.
