Location: Sweetway Cafe

Have an exciting business idea but aren’t sure if it will really work? Before you spend months (and thousands of dollars) building, there are faster, smarter ways to test demand.
In this interactive roundtable, we’ll explore **practical, low-cost methods to validate ideas** — from quick landing pages and pre-sales to customer interviews, social listening, and small pilot launches. You’ll have the chance to **share your own approach (or ask for help if you’re stuck), learn from real stories of success and failure, and leave with clear next steps** for testing your concept in the real world.
This is not a lecture — it’s a space for honest conversations, shared lessons, and actionable advice.
