Happy New Year, Charlotte Business Owners!I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and I’m wishing you an amazing year ahead!
As we kick off 2026, I’m inviting you to join our first networking event of the year, a perfect opportunity to start the year strong by building meaningful connections. Each gathering usually brings together over 150 guests, making it the perfect space to meet like-minded business owners, exchange ideas, and create real business opportunities.
✨ Why You Should Join Us:
- Connect with fellow business owners who truly understand your journey
- Exchange referrals, ideas, and strategies that can help grow your business
- Discover new opportunities, collaborations, and partnerships for 2026
- Enjoy an uplifting and supportive atmosphere designed for genuine connections
- Gain visibility among Charlotte’s local entrepreneurs
This event is ideal for entrepreneurs, professionals, and go-getters ready to expand their circle and make meaningful connections as the year begins.
Special Theme: Kickstart 2026: Your One Big Move
Start the year strong by choosing one bold goal that will make a real difference in the first quarter of 2026! Upon arrival, you’ll write your goal on a card and drop it in our “Big Moves Box.” During the event, a few goals will be randomly selected and read aloud. The boldest and most inspiring goal, as voted by attendees, will win prizes.
Come ready to set a clear goal, connect with like-minded business owners, and start the year with action and energy!
