As CEOs, we all face our own Everest - be it a major goal or a daunting business challenge. Without the proper preparation, determination, and approach, it can seem insurmountable. Come join fellow CEOs for a captivating conversation with accomplished mountaineer Tim Igo, who will share with us his climbing adventures summiting the highest peaks on all of the seven continents, including the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest. Tim will share his experiences, successes, and failures in the mountains, connecting the principles he’s learned from years of mountaineering to our challenges as CEOs. Tim will draw parallels to the mountains we climb as business leaders, as he shares the lessons he’s learned regarding planning, persistence, overcoming adversity, teamwork, managing risk & setbacks, communication, and the mental & physical preparation needed for a serious challenge. Join in the conversation as well, sharing your own personal experiences with extreme sports or other adventures that mirror the business challenges you’ve faced.
We’ll enjoy a delicious dinner with fellow CEO’s in our own private room at historic POST 154 Restaurant (formerly Westport’s grand main post office). Prepare to come away motivated, energized, and inspired to get to the top of your own Everest in business and in life.

About POST 154 Restaurant & Bar
POST 154 Restaurant & Bar, one of Westport’s newest and most popular dining establishments, began as Westport’s historical post office building. Located at 154 Post Road, it was built c. 1935 by the New Deal and designed by decorated World War I Air Force hero, Lansing Holden. Today, the limestone and brick façade remains, as does the daily reminder of a town’s legacy and evolution. The expansive interior maintains the drama of the original high-vaulted structure, with a u-shaped bar that provides a strategic central element. The theatrical back bar is adorned with a massive vintage framed mirror, beautiful Carrera marble top, and a five-foot-long chrome beer tower. Adding to the energy of the room is an open-display kitchen, the focal point of the dining room where both the chef and the guests are integral to the overall vibe of the restaurant. A central stairway leads to the lower level wine cellar and more intimate dining rooms for meetings and private events.
