Speed Networking for Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

Join us for an informal speed networking session and build your professional network. In this 45-minute activity, participants will make numerous contacts in a short period of time, with an opportunity to exchange contact information if desired.

This event is presented in collaboration with The Economic Opportunity and Development Division of The City of Cambridge in honor of National Small Business Month. City staff will be on hand to share resources available to small businesses and entrepreneurs in Cambridge, and to celebrate the importance of small businesses to Cambridge's vibrant community.

People of all ages, backgrounds, and industries are warmly welcomed. If you’re able, please download the LinkedIn app and have your QR code pulled up and ready to share when you arrive.

If you prefer to keep it old-school, business cards are also welcomed!
