About this Event
The Greater Hartford Business Networking Group brings together owners, operators, and professionals from around the region once a month at Urban Lodge Brewing in Manchester. Grab a beer, pull up a chair, and get to know the people worth knowing.
We maintain an informal structure and the atmosphere is casual. Grab a beer and some snacks from the bar, find a seat, and talk to whoever's next to you. We meet at 3:30-5 so it lands before family time, but plenty of people stay later.
Business, and everything else
Business is part of the conversation, but it’s not the only reason people come. This is a place to build real relationships, exchange ideas, make introductions, and help each other navigate the challenges of business—and life.
You might meet someone who becomes a customer, a referral partner, a trusted advisor, or simply someone who has been through what you're dealing with and can offer a fresh perspective. Talk about business, kids, stress, work-life balance, or whatever is on your mind. Come to connect, contribute, and see where the relationships take you.
First time? Here's what happens
Come as you are. Most people come straight from work, whether that means a polo, business casual, or work boots. There’s no dress code and no need to overthink it.
Come when it works for you. The more often you attend, the more people you’ll get to know and the more value you’ll get from the group. Some people attend every month, others come once a quarter. Both are welcome.
Who's at the table
Trades and contracting, insurance, real estate, legal, accounting, marketing, management consulting, finance, restaurants — and we are always looking for more industries to join. All are welcome.
Register so we save you a chair, and tell us what you do. That way we can point you at the right person when you walk in.
Bring somebody if you'd like. Register for both of you so we set the room right.
