Are you a business owner interested in learning how you can use your business as a mission to advance God’s Kingdom? Or perhaps you are an investor looking for Kingdom-focused investment opportunities? Or perhaps you are a student or professional seeking how to have an impact through your career. Cedarworks, Inc. is excited to announce the 2023 Lions Den Event taking place October 11-13, 2023 at Highlands College in Birmingham, Ala. and you are invited!
The “Shark Tank” style Main Event (October 12) features 3-5 business-as-mission companies competing before a live audience and panel of judges, seeking capital, resources, and exposure. The Professional Summit (October 11-12) is a dynamic two-day summit with Henry Kaestner as the keynote speaker. Dinner will be provided Wednesday along with a speaker, introductions to the competing companies, and structured networking. On Thursday, it includes breakfast, a keynote luncheon, dinner, plenary sessions, multiple breakout sessions, the Main Event, and additional networking opportunities. The Accredited Investor Meeting (October 13) gives an opportunity for Accredited Investors to go deeper, ask questions, and meet with the presenting companies one-on-one to determine any future partnerships.
The Lions Den brings together business leaders and investors from around the world. To illustrate the broad appeal, over 600 came to The Lions Den Main Event in 2022, with 10 countries, 159 cities, and 32 states represented. With multiple sponsorship levels available there are also plenty of opportunities to gain exposure and contribute to the Business as Mission cause. We invite you to attend personally or become a sponsor of the 2023 Lions Den Event.
A group of Birmingham business professionals created The Lions Den event in 2014 to “Inspire, Educate and Mobilize” people to invest their time, talents, and other resources in the Kingdom through “Business as Mission.” The Lions Den began to establish itself as a forum for action-oriented professionals coming from across the country to network and collaborate.
One past Lions Den participant says about their experience, “Speakers who were asked to share their stories were authentic and transparent. They told about how God has used them to reach the unreached and how the creation of jobs, in many cases, was the catalyst for this transformation. Their stories were not only informative, but they were inspirational as well.” He adds, “Jesus was present throughout the conference. He was glorified through every business, and there was never a session where He wasn’t the focal point.” Learn more and register at www.thelionsden.us. †
