This event was sponsored by co-host NAGICO Insurance (Bahamas) Limited, along with Bahamas Medical Center, NUA Insurance Agents & Brokers, Diane Philips & Associates, BWA (Ensueno), Fun Foods Wholesale Ltd. and Pupstar Entertainment. This year’s theme focused on the new generation highlighting the perspectives of upcoming young entrepreneurs.

The guest panelists included Jaime Lewis (president of Islandz), Janine Carey (co-Owner of Liquid Nutrition), Giorgio Knowles (president of LuiCari) and Amanda Ferguson (founder and creative director of Biggity). Each person brought a different perspective on what it takes to be your own boss while running, maintaining and growing your business. The audience was also given a chance to interact with the panelists during the Q&A portion of the event. Raffle prizes include a private tour for two from Tru Bahamian Food Tours, a dinner for two at Twisted Lime and a solar panel assessment from Bahamas Alternative Energy.
