Join us to celebrate LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs as a community! The Riveter is hosting a panel discussion with LGBTQ+ founders on how they built their businesses. Our goal is to provide an affordable and accessible space for local, diverse LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs to have real conversations about what it is like to own a business. Ask questions, hear their stories, learn how they navigate challenges and bias, and celebrate their triumphs, large and small.

Panelists:

Charlie Brackney (Founder of HAUS Salon)

Lorenz Esguerra (EVP and General Manager, Minneapolis, Weber Shandwick)

Kim Bartmann (CEO and Restaurateur, Bartmann Group)

Moderator:

Christian Quilici (The Riveter)
