Vogt Awards Demo Day

We’re bringing together two incredible events celebrating entrepreneurs. The Community Foundation of Louisville’s legendary Vogt Invention and Innovation Awards joins forces with Network + Chill to bring you an evening you won’t want to miss.

Hear from six local, tech startups from this year’s Vogt Awards cohort and learn from Andy Dunn, author of Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind. Dunn’s fireside chat will explore the intersection of entrepreneurship and mental health and is hosted by Ricky Mason, 2020 Vogt Award recipient, and Chris Redd.

• This event is free and open to the public but registration is required. Your registration will include the Network + Chill fireside chat and you’ll receive a copy of Andy Dunn’s book.

• Masking is encouraged in accordance with CDC guidance and local community data

• Questions? Contact us at VogtAwards@cflouisville.org

Register to attend Demo Day on October 13th.
