We are thrilled to welcome Jenn Ocken as our keynote speaker. A seasoned career photographer, Jenn brings a wealth of experience and a passion for empowering others. She will share her journey and the lessons learned about cultivating a purpose-driven life through one's passions. Her vision is clear: to help others not just survive but thrive, achieving a balanced, quality life filled with joy and fulfillment.

Our panel, composed of influential voices from the local business and creative communities, includes Doug Gay (Baton Rouge Music Studios), Narcisse Burchell (Baton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week), and Sarah Joy (Counterspace). The panel will engage in a discussion centered on the challenges and opportunities that shape Baton Rouge's entrepreneurial landscape. 

Mary Ellen Slaytor, owner of Rep Cap and the newly launched co-working space, brings her expertise in fostering collaborative environments to guide the evening’s discussion. Her commitment to community and innovation makes her an ideal moderator for this event.

Additionally, we are excited to introduce the "Collaboration Corner," an innovative networking opportunity that allows attendees to engage directly in creating social media content with fellow attendees. Facilitated by QuickFlip Media, participants can team up to produce short, impactful videos to share their stories, insights, and experiences. 

"Panel and Perspectives" is not just an event; it's a movement towards building a more interconnected and prosperous community. Join us in making a difference, sharing your story, and amplifying your impact through the power of collaboration and genuine relationships.
