Entrepreneur. Event Producer. Community Builder. Trend Analyst.

New Chapter. Same Fire.

Ingrid Riley, August 18, 2025August 18, 2025

This photo is from one of my first international keynotes-Black Tech Week in Miami-where I shared the early sparks of Jamaica and the Caribbean’s tech startup scene.

300+ tech events for entrepreneurs and investors, one iconic tech community brand ( Kingston BETA) later, I’m still about producing great events and communities, but with a new business, GridNet Events, expanding and taking tech and our expertise into travel, wellness, women, culture, and entertainment sectors, and with a twist to be announced later.

It’s about building experiences and communities that spark connection, drive business, and move culture.

My entrepreneur headspace feels like it’s cranked up a gear.

There is nothing like the adrenaline rush and scared shitless-ness that comes with starting something new, but if you ask anyone in this kind of business, they are sorta used to that. Sorta. 😂

Built the Stage.
Now I’m Expanding the Show.

Let’s do some more cool shit together.
Onward
