After a pandemic hiatus, 1 Million Cups Dallas is back for connection, conversation, and coffee. A “grand relaunch event” for the gathering of entrepreneurially-minded people will be held both in-person and virtually on Wednesday, June 22.
The weekly meetup—which has been a staple in the local startup ecosystem—consists of entrepreneurial presentations, Q&As, networking, and (of course) free coffee.
The Kauffman Foundation launched 1 Million Cups in 2012, and it has since spread to more than 160 cities around the country. The name comes from the idea that entrepreneurs can meet and exchange ideas over a million cups of coffee.
Connected Coworking, located at 211 N. Ervay in downtown Dallas, will host the event on June 22 at 9 a.m.
All are welcome, the group says. For more information, go here.
Get on the list.
