About this Event
Next Level Networking: Business Growth Edition
Your next big growth move might be one conversation away.
Business owners across Northern Colorado are setting their 2027 goals right now. More customers. A bigger team. A new location. A stronger year. Whatever growth looks like for you, you will not get there alone. You will need the right banker, CPA, marketer, attorney, HR partner, and referral partners in your corner.
On November 17, those people will be in one room.
Next Level Networking: Business Growth Edition brings together business owners who are ready to grow and the professionals who help businesses get there, in a format built to turn conversations into opportunities.
Why This Is Not Your Typical Networking Event
Most networking events have a problem. They are full of people who want results, but the format makes it hard to actually connect. If you have ever left one thinking:
“I met a lot of people, but I do not think any of it will go anywhere.”
“I had the same conversation ten times.”
“No one really understood what I do.”
...this night was built for you. Here is what makes it different:
- Introductions set up before you arrive. After you register, Andrew Johnson will reach out to learn about your business and who you want to meet, then line up speed networking rounds with people who can directly help you grow.
- Speed networking with a purpose. Several focused 1-2-1 rounds that go past “so, what do you do?” to how your businesses can actually help each other.
- A growth workshop you can use the next morning. Professional networker Andrew Johnson, who has built more than 150 networking groups across the country, shares how to turn your network into a 2027 growth plan.
- Follow-ups on the calendar. The night is designed so you leave with follow-up 1-2-1s scheduled, not just a pocket full of business cards.
Who Will Be in the Room
Business owners planning to hire, expand, or grow revenue in 2027, plus the professionals who help them get there:
- Banking, lending, and financial professionals.
- Accountants, bookkeepers, and tax professionals.
- Attorneys and business consultants.
- Insurance and employee benefits professionals.
- HR, payroll, staffing, and recruiting professionals.
- Marketing, branding, web, and video professionals.
- IT, technology, and cybersecurity providers.
- Sales trainers and business coaches.
- Commercial real estate and office space professionals.
- Anyone in sales or business development who wants more referral partners.
You do not need a big company to belong here. If you are working to grow, or you help other businesses grow, save your seat.
