💭 Why We're Hosting This
July is the make-or-break month for ambitious interns. It's when you either:
Level off like everyone else, or level up and separate yourself from the pack.
The interns who build momentum in July become the entrepreneurs, executives, and industry leaders everyone remembers. They don't wait for permission, perfect timing, or graduation.
They build now.
This event is for the builders who understand that mid-summer momentum creates lifetime advantages.
