Shibley Righton LLP is proud to announce that it will be a sponsor of the StartUP Canada Town Hall event being held at Walkerville Brewery in Windsor on Tuesday, May 22^nd, 2012 at 5pm.

Join Windsor-Essex's Entrepreneurial Community for a garage brainstorming sessions that will bring together entrepreneurs and members of the local entrepreneurship community to develop concrete action plans and community-led solutions to pressing challenges facing entrepreneurs in Windsor-Essex, Ontario and across Canada. In groups of 5-8, a diverse mix of participants will create an action plan in 30 minutes to tackle a particular challenge that they define within the particular issue area. The Action Plans generated and discussed during the Town Hall will lead to more probing analysis and questioning in future Town Halls across Canada, as each Town Hall builds on the last. All of these ideas, exercises and opportunities will contribute to the resulting Charter, Action Plan and White Paper.
