More Information: Downtown Phoenix leaders and the best and brightest minds responsible for fueling the growth of the Central Corridor will come together this Thursday, April 16th for an evening of networking and lively discussion about the growth and future of the Central Corridor, and it’s all for a good cause. Owners of 111 W. Monroe, the iconic mid-century modern building recently transformed into a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation will host the evening with all proceeds benefiting Ryan House.

An exciting lineup of panelists will share current, relevant and diverse perspectives on the heart of our city.

Offering a bit of local flair, eats will be provided by restaurateur DJ Fernandes and the Tuck Shop along with cocktails served in the 111 W. Monroe Penthouse overlooking the city.

In the spirit of this shared commitment, 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales and sponsor contributions will be passed directly to Ryan House, a much celebrated local resource that provides world class care to children with very serious and terminal health challenges and steady support to their loving families.
