Events with Impact
Join us for one of our upcoming community building events and opportunities
Embolden Lunch & Learn
Join us on June 18th for SEG’s next Embolden Lunch and Learn on The Power of Influence.
We will be joined by special guests Laura Afonso, founder of Buns & Bites and Honey Buns Social, and Nick Sarazen, a Grammy-nominated producer and Emmy-winning series composer.
Together, they’ll share how they’re helping shape Rhode Island’s economy through content, entrepreneurship, community building, and storytelling—creating opportunities for local businesses, supporting entrepreneurship, and driving engagement across the state.
Queer Entrepreneurs Meetup
Join SEG for a FREE pride month edition of the Queer Entrepreneurs meetup with our friends and event sponsors at Long Live Beerworks!
This meetup is a casual gathering open to the public (bring friends!) where we can meet other like minded entrepreneurs, share ideas and gather in community. All are welcome!
Thank you to our friends at Long Live Beerworks for sponsoring this event.
