This April, we're honored to host Hamilton Chu, lead producer of Halo, executive producer of Hearthstone, and the CEO of Second Dinner, the powerhouse behind the award-winning MARVEL SNAP game. With a legacy of raising $100M in Series B funding and clinching the Mobile Game of the Year title, Hamilton brings a wealth of knowledge on creating and leveraging social capital to build great things and create your best life.

At this event, you’ll learn how principles of leadership, community building, and strategic thinking on the mat can be used to create an awesome life off the mat. Discover how to leverage your networks for success and make meaningful connections that last a lifetime.
