    "FROM INK TO AI"


    James A. "Jim" Bacon
    Founder & Publisher of Bacon's Rebellion
    REGISTER

    Jim Bacon is the founder and publisher of Bacon’s Rebellion, a long-running Virginia-focused news and public-policy publication known for independent analysis and sharp commentary on government, business, and civic life.

    With decades of experience in journalism and public affairs, Jim has observed firsthand the rise, decline, and transformation of American news — from the heyday of large metropolitan newspapers in the 1980s to today’s fragmented digital media landscape.

    In this Encorepreneur! session, Jim will explore the evolution of news: how journalism worked during its “golden age,” what was lost as traditional business models collapsed, how today’s media environment took shape, and what lies ahead as artificial intelligence begins to influence how news is gathered, written, distributed, and consumed.

    OUR HOST


    1771 North Parham Road - Near Regency


    Born in Richmond, Virginia, shortly after the conclusion of the Civil War, Henry W. Woody lived all his life in the city and established the Woody Funeral Home near Historic St. John’s Church in 1905. The business outgrew the original facility and a new, more modern building was built at 25th Street and Jefferson Avenue in 1916. Mr. Woody continued to serve families of the greater Richmond area from that location until his death in 1958. The company currently has 4 locations including the Parham Road facility. DIRECTIONS

    A Unique Encorepreneur Evening!
    May 14


    Join the encorepreneur community in a fun night of theatre featuring our friends Eva DeVirgilis and Firehouse Theatre. Eva is one of only 3 speakers to be asked back by Encorepreneur! for another appearance and Firehouse is a favorite new host for our monthly meetings. 

    We will be seeing a world premiere perfomance of WitchDuck, a play about a little-known piece of Virginia's history. The play was written by Eva and she also has a role in the play.  WitchDuck is just like Eva - energetic, educational, serious, fun and entertaining!   

    Your reserved seat is available for just $40 and there are only about 70 seats left. Pleaser join us on May 14, but reserve your spot soon!


    It's 1706. Virginia’s last convicted witch is sentenced to trial by water. What the duck? Over 300 years later, she still won't stay down. The true story of Grace Sherwood resurfaces in WitchDuck—a wickedly subversive new play that proves once and for all: women are hysterical.
