About this event
On Wednesday, December 15th, FountainHead RI had the good fortune to host its 6th Annual Business Leaders Networking Event live from the Aloft Providence Downtown, Providence, RI’s newest hotel (opening in November 2021)!
After a two-year break from in-person events it was nice to finally be back together, albeit in a more limited capacity.
The attendees brought a vast array of industry knowledge, spanning from public accounting to the various private sectors (i.e. banking, lawyers, investment advisors, CFOs, COOs, President and Vice Presidents of local non profits, founders, co-founder of private companies, artists, etc.).
The event ended with a great deal of momentum, especially regarding a number of potential new entrepreneurial, start-up eco-system opportunities for Rhode Island going into 2022.
Additionally, we wanted to give a HUGE thanks to the Aloft hotel team for helping us host our event, bending over backwards to ensure the evening was a major success.
We want to extend a special thank you to our sponsors for this year’s event:
Year-long bronze community sponsor: CrossCountry Mortgage
Bronze single event sponsor: J.P. Morgan Chase
*For sponsorship information please reach out to us at info@fountainheadri.org
Look forward to seeing everyone (in person!) at the brand new Aloft Providence Downtown hotel this December!
~FountainHead RI Board of Directors
*Additional sponsors to be added as confirmed.
*All dollars raised from this event (including sponsorship dollars) will be used to support FountainHead RI’s mission to provide a platform for millennial engagement in Rhode Island in order to foster professional development, connect the next generation of leaders, and promote leadership in various sectors, both locally and nationally.
