Do you want to speak with someone who can provide their personal insight about the path to success in this industry?  Someone you may not feel you are able to approach on your own.  Well, now’s your chance to get the answers and learn something new.  During this session industry veterans and the next generation of leaders have the opportunity to meet in a relaxed environment to engage in conversation.  This is the next generation’s opportunity to hear from experienced leaders, they may not otherwise have the opportunity to do.  

Attendees will be divided into groups of 4- 6 people.  Each group will spend 45 minutes with a determinator and when the timer goes, it’s time to switch up to another table to learn and hear something new.  The event concludes with casual networking and socializing with your peers and new connections.

Frisbee Golf

Have you ever wanted to play a team game but traditional golf is not your style?  This is your opportunity to try your hand at Frisbee Golf.  The game is played very similar to traditional ball golf; however, instead of using golf balls and golf clubs, players throw a Frisbee at a target. Score is kept the same with the lowest score winning tournament. A hole is started by someone throwing a drive from the tee pad area and completed when the disc comes to rest at the target.  This game is sure to generate some good laughs, some great times all while enjoying the beautiful landscape of Jasper.
