About the Experience
A brunch table, not a lecture hall.
Join us for the Self-Made Houston Experience™: Business Brunch & Growth Labs, an engaging networking experience designed for entrepreneurs, small business owners, startups, creatives, and aspiring business leaders.
This is not your typical business conference.
Instead, you'll enjoy a relaxed business brunch atmosphere where you can connect with fellow entrepreneurs, build meaningful relationships, explore valuable business resources, and participate in interactive Growth Labs throughout the morning.
Continuous Growth Labs allow guests to come and go throughout the event without missing valuable networking opportunities.
Whether you're launching a business or growing an existing one, you'll leave with practical strategies, valuable resources, and meaningful connections.
