Digital Fight Club is back IRL! We return to our birthplace, The Granada Theater in full force as a featured event of Dallas Startup Week.
Panels are boring.
Come watch top DFW founders spar on controversial and disruptive topics!
So there is no pressure.
Then we let the refs and audience (that’s you) vote for a winner. That’s not boring. That’s fun.
…and you might learn something.
- Fight 1: The Metaverse
- Fight 2: Brand/Consumer Transparency
- Fight 3: Supply Chain
- Fight 4: Sustainability, Profitability & Growth
- Fight 5: Cybersecurity
Mayhem, indeed!
Watch every DFC fight on our YouTube Channel.
