CoLAB OS, RUNNING LIVE

Two Days. Expert Sessions.
No Standing Still.

Two mornings, two afternoons. Each one built around a different growth area: AI, IP, Enterprise Value, Collaboration. A speaker opens it, your table runs an exercise built specifically for that topic, and then you move. A new table, matched by CoLABra to put you next to entrepreneurs whose Insights, Abilities, and Multipliers complement yours. New collaborators. New speaker. New exercise.

Every evening, dinner is curated for you too with a different group each night. This is more than networking built around a schedule. It’s Connecting, Combining, and Creating for two days straight.

AGENDA

Four-Rotation Breakdown

DAY 1

Session 1 | Collaboration

Room question: “You can’t read your own label.”
What happens: Talk it through, run the exercise, and walk out with a clearer picture of your own Insights, Abilities, and Multipliers.

Session 2 | AI

Room question: “AI, why?”
What happens: Before the tools, the reason. This session is about what AI is actually for within your business, not just what it can do at a base level.

DAY 2

Session 3 | IP

Room question: “I know I have IP. Now what?”
What happens: You already know you’re sitting on something valuable. This is where you turn it into something you can protect, document, and use.

Session 4 | Enterprise Value

Room question: “That friction? That’s fuel.”
What happens: Everything that surfaced the last three sessions (the label you couldn’t read, the IP you hadn’t used, the AI question you hadn’t answered) turns into something concrete: what your business is actually worth, and what to build next.

Expert sessions full of entrepreneurs wrestling with the same ones. Walk out with your next move, not just a guess at it.
