Purpose of the Gathering

In a time when economic uncertainty prevails, the necessity for unwavering spirit and the ability to bounce back has never been more crucial for business leaders. The Phoenix Gathering encourages participants to discuss how they have navigated through financial turmoil, organizational challenges, and difficult decisions regarding business operations. By delving into personal stories, attendees can explore the thought processes and habits that have helped them regain their footing.

Moreover, the event serves as a space for authentic dialogue that can lead to greater understanding and camaraderie among peers. Attendees will not only gain insights from each other but also be motivated by the shared experiences, thus transforming the evening into a supportive environment.

Special Guest Speaker

One highlight of the evening will be a talk by Ryo Yoshioka, co-founder and COO of Willgate Inc., a company specializing in content marketing and M&A intermediaries. Yoshioka, who started his entrepreneurial journey just three days after graduating from high school, has grown Willgate to over 159 employees and has faced numerous challenges along the way. His firsthand insights into overcoming adversity will provide invaluable lessons for fellow entrepreneurs.
