About this Event
Event info
It can feel lonely, "clique-ish", expensive in time and money, or just down right intimidating to put yourself out there in the real-world versus social media. This group is designed to go deeper than exchanging elevator pitches and business cards.
We believe the referrals and the business naturally come from networking- but only if theres a lasting impression and a connection! Plus, small business is so much more than numbers and gaining more business.
Our goals is to have everybody leave with at least 1 of these 3: To feel supported/heard, to be inspired, or/and to gain a genuine connection. So far, it seems that this group has been pretty successful at obtaining that goal as the feedback has been reflective of that.
This networking group will be structured, follow an agenda and have a down-to-earth feel while simultaneously talking about business.
We are looking for 1 featured business and 1-2 vendor set ups for every networking session. Email [email protected] to inquire.
More info:
- Our goal is to start on time. Please plan on arriving at least 5 min early. Arrive as early as 30 min earlier to mingle with other professionals!
- Who is invited? Professionals seeking community, business owners, aspiring business owners, artists, creatives. This is not limited to business owners. We would love this group to provide community and inspiration that anyone with a "growth mindset" can benefit from. Men and women are welcome.
- How is this networking group different? We will follow an agenda each meet-up that allows real convserations that go beneath surface-level interactions. Real connections are made through large group and small group discussions. The activities and workshops that take place during these meet-ups focus on the whole person instead of just the business.
