Pathways to Opportunities - A Community Scavenger Hunt Experience

Hosted by TWG, this high-energy, community-centered experience brings together entrepreneurs, contractors, small business owners, resource partners, and community leaders through an interactive scavenger hunt-style networking experience designed to create meaningful connections and real opportunities.

Rather than standing around exchanging business cards, guests will move through curated partner stations and “opportunity doors” where they’ll discover business resources, certification pathways, membership information, educational programs, active project opportunities, and strategic connections that can help move their business forward.

This party-themed experience encourages attendees to engage directly with community partners, CBI and CBIAC collaborators, and fellow business owners who are all working toward growth, impact, and opportunity creation.

Whether you're looking for contract opportunities, partnerships, certifications, business resources, or simply your next big connection, this event was designed to ensure you leave with actionable tools, valuable contacts, and a clear next step toward your next opportunity.
