Finish Strong - Start Ahead - Create Momentum for 2027!

Finish Strong • Start Ahead - Hosted by BeLocal Publisher Annette Johnson

Step away from your daily routine and spend time with local professionals who understand the opportunities—and challenges—of growing a business. Get to know the people behind the businesses, exchange ideas, explore potential collaborations, and discover additional support within the BeLocal community.

Alongside time to mingle and enjoy lunch, Maryam Habashi, Business Development Coach & Leadership Strategist and founder of INFUSEsystem, will lead a focused, 45-minute session on business practices that can help you prioritize your efforts, strengthen your follow-through, and prepare proactively for the next quarter.

Come ready to:

• Build relationships with fellow BeLocal advertising partners and local professionals.
• Gain practical business strategies to make the most of the remaining quarter.
• Exchange insights and find support for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
• Explore referrals and collaborations through conversations that continue beyond the event.

Whether you’re looking for fresh ideas, stronger connections, or more direction heading into the new year, this gathering offers time for both learning and relationship building.

Bring a business partner or professional guest who would benefit from connecting with the BeLocal community. Please make sure everyone attending is registered.
