Networking Walk for Women Entrepreneurs - Westfield, NJ

BizBestie Walk is an in-person networking event for women entrepreneurs looking to grow their businesses while enjoying exploring cute walkable downtowns and supporting independent cafes.

Sharon Calle, founder of BizBestie Walk, has been a small business owner since 2016. When she pivoted to an online business in 2024 she found herself craving in-person connection. She attended a variety of networking events but found them overwhelming and disappointing. As an introvert she envisioned a more personal networking experience, small and intentional, where 1:1 conversation comes first.

Sharon launched BizBestie Walk in May 2025, creating a safe place for women entrepreneurs to connect with their community, minus the pressure.

We welcome small business owners, solopreneurs, female founders, side hustlers, freelancers, and female entrepreneurs looking to build more meaningful connections IRL.

Our 1 hour walking route is accessible. You will receive the exact meeting location in your confirmation email.

Due to insurance reasons, we ask that you please leave children and pets at home. Thank you for understanding!

Our founder Sharon Calle will be co-hosting this walk with Kat Diwaker, program manager of the WCEC Women's Business Center.

The WCEC Women's Business Center empowers individuals to invest in themselves via entrepreneurship by providing necessary resources to successfully start, own, operate, & grow their businesses. Primary services include free to low-cost business counseling and webinars on a wide array of topics such as marketing, financial literacy, website building and more.
