Traction Build Weekend
A focused working weekend for people developing ideas, ventures, start-ups, products, services and innovating in existing businesses.
Some participants arrive with an early-stage concept. Others already have something underway. Some are exploring a startup idea. Others are improving or growing an existing business.
For one weekend, participants step out of the day-to-day and properly work on something they want to move forward.
