About

Entrepreneurs Unpluggd is a unique event series created by Stella Fayman and Tim Jahn. The events seek to create an intimate, engaging environment for entrepreneurs to learn actual lessons from actual experiences. It’s hard to do that with 3,000 people spread out in a giant auditorium at a keynote full of theory and fluff.

We keep the crowd to a manageable size, host our events in intimate theater settings, and seat the speakers right next to you in the audience. As past speakers have said, “it’s the sort of thing you don’t normally talk about in the company history section on your website. It’s a little more intimate.”

You can expect the following from your experience at Entrepreneurs Unpluggd:

Valuable networking with fellow entrepreneurs and innovators
Great speakers sharing actionable information in an intimate setting
Exposure to resources and tools you can use to grow your business
