The After Party
The Firebrand After Party is an informal mixer celebrating entrepreneurship, innovation, and small business growth across the Kitsap Peninsula, and you’re invited!
Join us from 3 – 5 PM at a secret on-site location in The Centennial for this exclusive, ticketed event.
Open to everyone passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation, it’s a great chance to mix and mingle with founders, business owners, investors, creators, and champions in a relaxed, informal setting designed for building meaningful connections.
The After Party follows the invite-only Firebrand Unconference, held earlier at Vibe Coworks from 9 AM – 3 PM. While the Unconference is by invitation only, the After Party is open to all (ages 21+).
Your ticket includes heavy appetizers and one complimentary drink, offering the perfect setting to recharge, share insights, and network with Kitsap’s most dynamic business owners, leaders and visionaries.
Tickets are $60 General Admission or $25 for Unconference attendees.

Why ‘Firebrand’?
As a forum that is unapologetically for and by entrepreneurs, this annual convening is unlike any other business event in Kitsap. We needed a name to reflect that.
The term “firebrand” refers to a person who is passionate, energetic, and outspoken. Firebrand is derived from the image of a burning piece of wood (a brand) that ignites and spreads fire, metaphorically representing someone who ignites passion or inspires others with their fervor and outspokenness.
In a business context, “firebrand” also denotes a leader or influencer who drives change and challenges the status quo with bold ideas and actions, which is precisely why the “Firebrand Unconference” name felt so fitting.
