Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber to host a 'Shark Tank-like' event Sept. 23

The Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce is hosting a “shark tank” to dive into different facets of business and self discovery in the 3rd annual Economic Summit — “Lead OUT Loud.” They will bring together powerful, well known speakers to educate and vitalize Utah’s LGBTQ+ and allied business owners to help their businesses thrive. Registration and open networking begins Sept. 23 at 9:30 a.m. Then, grab a seat, your coffee/beverage and a new friend as they will start promptly at 10 a.m. A catered lunch will be served at noon and sessions will end at 4 p.m.

A happy hour party/ networking event on the patio of the Living Planet Aquarium will take place afterwards, with entertainment, light appetizers, and a cash bar.

Whether you are an aspiring business owner, new business owner, or have been in business 50+years, organizers promise there will be a nugget or two for you.
