BASE was designed as a space where entrepreneurs come together to learn, exchange experiences, build meaningful connections and explore how to do business differently. And everything starts with you and the relationships you are building. This is what we explore under the BUILD pillar.

Before scaling, before visibility, before expansion, strong businesses are built on solid foundations: amazing ideas brought to reality through hard work, collaboration, and relationships. One of the most essential elements of healthy business relationships is setting boundaries.

This is why, in this edition, we will not only create new connections but also learn how to set boundaries.

Workshop: Boundaries as a Bridge to Connection
In this interactive session, Lisa Dempsey will lead a 60-minute workshop exploring how boundaries can strengthen trust rather than weaken it.
In business, unclear expectations create tension, overgiving leads to exhaustion and avoiding difficult conversations slowly damages collaboration. Boundaries are not walls between us, but agreements that protect clarity and make connections safer.

During the workshop, you will explore:

• Why boundaries often feel uncomfortable in professional relationships
• How emotional intelligence supports clearer communication
• The difference between defensive protection and healthy limits
• A practical reflection exercise to define and articulate one key boundary in your business

This is a working session. You won’t just listen, you’ll leave with insight and language you can apply immediately.

Fireside Chat
After the workshop, the conversation continues in a fireside chat. This is where ideas meet lived experience, stories are shared, and you have the chance to ask our speakers direct questions. It’s a space for honest dialogue about what it really takes to build sustainable business relationships.

Networking
Connection is at the heart of BASE.

The evening closes with networking, a time to meet fellow entrepreneurs, exchange ideas and start conversations that may grow into collaborations.

Because business expands through trust, not transactions.
