Have you ever been to a networking event and thought, “Nah… not for me”?
Awkward conversations, stiff handshakes, and zero real connection? Yeah, us too. That’s why we flipped the script on networking — and built something better 👇
Welcome to Elevate: a community-powered event for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and business owners who want real conversations, authentic connections, and a damn good time while doing it.
And this time, we’re going big!
Special Edition: AI & Leadership
AI is everywhere — but what does it mean for you as a leader, entrepreneur, or creative mind? This month, we’re diving into the intersection of authentic leadership and artificial intelligence with two powerful keynote speakers who are ready to shake things up:
Dr. Arzu Sedef
“The Risks of AI – and Why Knowing Them Empowers You”
Everyone’s talking about what AI can do. But what about what it shouldn’t do? In this talk, Arzu explores the overlooked risks of AI for solo entrepreneurs — and how understanding them helps you lead with clarity, not confusion.
Inna Gordienko
“The One Thing AI Can’t Fake: You. Authentic Leadership in an AI-Driven World”
When everything can be automated, the real edge is being real. Inna shares the key leadership traits that AI can’t replicate — and how staying true to your human skills is the smartest move you can make.
