Have an idea for a new business? Need fresh or new ideas for your existing business? The Idea Cafe is a weekly meeting with a unique format. One or two speakers are invited to attend and share with the group how they translated their ideas into reality. Then the group brainstorms around specific problems that participants are dealing with, such as, "How do I get the word out about my business?" or "How do I gain more media attention for my project?"

The Idea Cafe Meetup is not a networking event, but a peer mentoring and brainstorming session, and a great way to get support in a short amount of time.

To participate, you must first join the meetup group (which is free). After you've been accepted by the group's founder and moderator, John Wren, you'll receive more info and reminders about the event.
