If you have RSVP’d to attend our upcoming Capital Connections event – pay attention! Due to overwhelming demand, we’ve had to change the venue – for several reasons.

Originally, we were going to hold the event at the Bahama Breeze in Alpharetta, Georgia. However, the capacity there is 125 people, which we reached very quickly after announcing the event. When we began to turn away entrepreneurs due to space requirements, we knew we had to find another venue – and fast.

Additionally, the deck at the Bahama Breeze would not have been “fully private,” as anyone could have easily gained entrance. Paranoid? I should be. The word quickly got out and I became flooded with emails from various service providers and job seekers trying to figure out ways to get into the event (some of you were very creative indeed!) Plus, the location of the event was leaked and started spreading virally as well. Again, nothing wrong with service providers or job seekers – they are an important part of the ecosystem. However, the focus of the event needs to remain on connecting fast-growth entrepreneurs and investors (which is why you need to be an entrepreneur or investor to get in.)

So, with all of that said, we made the decision to move the event to a new (larger) facility.

If you have applied/RSVP’d already, and did not receive the “change of venue email” we sent out a few days back mentioning the new location, check your spam folder. If you still don’t have it, let us know. We have emailed everyone about it twice now, so between that, and this public announcement here on StartupLounge.com, hopefully everyone will get it in time.

Cheers.
