#GilbertRCT

About the Red Carpet Tour: Gilbert is one of the Top 5 Safest Cities to Build a Startup in the U.S.  Companies are relocating from the West and Midwest areas to the Phoenix Metro area – why?  This tour will focus on startup successes in Gilbert, the increased demand for creative office space, resources for entrepreneurs, opportunities for collaboration, and will educate the community about Small and Medium Enterprises/Entrepreneurship (SME’s). So what is creative office space?  Creative office space is the antithesis of a conventional workplace. These spaces are characterized by their open-air feel, ample breathing room with huge walkways and modern couches and pods create communal work spaces – allowing SME’s to express their personality and enables employees to thrive in a conducive and collaborative workplace. 

Complimentary snack bag will be served prior to departure. Lunch will be served immediately following the tour.
