$150 per attendee Explore the Future of our Region’s Entrepreneurial Community The seventh annual Innovate Raleigh Summit will convene a diverse group of entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders, and engaged citizens from across our region. Through a series of panel discussions, keynote lectures, presentations, and workshops, the Summit connects participants in a day-long dialogue about the most important issues in our entrepreneurial community – funding, talent, and inclusivity. This year’s Summit, to be held November 9, 2018 at the Raleigh Convention Center, will highlight inspiring stories of our community while exploring the vision for the future of our community and creative, innovative ways to meet our challenges. Arlan Hamilton, founder and managing partner of Backstage Capital, will be featured in a keynote conversation at the 2018 Innovate Raleigh Summit. Hamilton started her venture capital fund from the ground up in 2015 while she was homeless and sleeping on the floor of the San Francisco International Airport. Her dream was to create a fund dedicated to investing in high-potential founders who are people of color, women, or LGBTQ. Today, that dream has become a reality. Hamilton, a black lesbian with no college degree or formal educational background, has been called “America’s hottest VC.” Innovate Raleigh Summit agenda
