About this Event
✦ A Networking Experience Like No Other
Join us at Pier 22 — Bradenton's premier waterfront dining destination — for an evening crafted around purpose-driven conversation and meaningful connection. Dreams over Drinks is not your average networking event. There are no name-tag shuffles, no forced elevator pitches, no awkward silences. Just intentional professionals, a stunning waterfront setting, and the freedom to show up as your full, ambitious self.
Come ready to share your dreams, meet doers who are ready to take action, and leave with connections that actually go somewhere.
