Attention Founders — this one’s for you.
If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, expected to constantly innovate, engage, and inspire while navigating constant change, burnout, and high stakes, you need to be in this room.
Mix, Connect & Scale: Acquisition Through Creativity is a Founder’s Mixer and Interactive Fireside Chat bringing together entrepreneurs, executives, and culture-builders seeking actionable, real-world growth strategies.
Grounded in neuroscience, organizational psychology, and proven facilitation, this session
reveals how the triad of Pause, Purpose, and Play serves as the secret engine for agile teams
aiming for a successful exit. By adopting this human-first operating system, leaders build deep
trust and resilience, turning workplace culture into a high-energy environment where
breakthrough innovation happens without the burnout.
The evening opens with an hour of freestyle networking. Meet fellow leaders in your community,
share your story, and build relationships that actually move the needle. Then we join together
for a special interactive fireside chat designed around one question: how do you sustain the
spark, prevent perfectionism, and leverage play to build hyper-innovative, acquisition-ready
companies?
Our featured guest is Vanya Boardman — leadership facilitator, founder of PlayInnové, and co-
author of The Innovation Imperative: How Extraordinary Leaders Sustain the Spark.
Come for the networking. Stay for the conversation. Leave with something you can actually use.

Vanya’s approach isn’t theoretical. It’s grounded in more than 20 years of leading people,
teams, and operations across industries. Along the way, she discovered that the biggest
barriers to innovation are rarely a lack of ideas. They’re the human dynamics that determine
whether people feel safe enough to speak up, curious enough to challenge assumptions, and
connected enough to create something better together.
Today, as co-founder of PlayInnové, Vanya combines research-backed practices, experiential
learning, and creative play to build those deeply human capabilities. Through her Pause,
Purpose, and Play framework, she shows that play isn’t separate from serious work. It’s a
powerful pathway to psychological safety, connection, creativity, experimentation, and
innovation.
