Entrepreneurship Chat with Mark Mader, CEO of Smartsheet | Seattle

About this event

We are excited to have Mark Mader with us for a fireside chat. Mark sometimes commutes to work on a Sea-Doo that he purchased to avoid traffic. So who better to share a presentation entitled, Startup Lessons From the Sea, a series of nautical-inspired tips for entrepreneurs. The chat will be followed by a Q&A so if you're an aspiring entrepreneur or tech enthusiast, get involved!
