Overview:
EOx Philadelphia is where real stories turn into real advantage.
Join us for an evening of unfiltered, experience-driven talks from four EO members who will share the defining moments that reshaped how they lead, build, and think. These aren’t polished highlight reels—they’re the hard pivots, personal challenges, and mindset shifts that unlocked their next level of growth.
How Cancer Helped Me Grow My Business — with Tom Heiler
Entrepreneurship Doesn’t Break You, It Reveals You — with Tina Hamilton
Remove the Filter: The Growth You’re Holding Back — with Ernesto Tagwerker
The Future Written — with Kevin Nolan
Each talk is designed to challenge how you see your own journey—personally and professionally—and give you perspective you can apply immediately inside your business, your leadership, and your life.
Dinner will be served, but the real value happens in the room—through connection, shared experience, and the kind of honest conversations you don’t get anywhere else.
Come ready to think differently, connect deeply, and walk away with insights that move you forward.
