About this Event
Tacoma Connect: Networking for Creatives, Entrepreneurs, & Community Leaders
Tacoma Connect is a free, in-person networking experience for creatives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders from every walk of life.
Every 2nd & 4th Wednesday, we gather at Edison Square in Tacoma to connect, collaborate, and grow — through real conversation, creative exchange, and shared momentum.
This isn’t your typical networking event. It’s a modern-day village square — where every tribe brings something to the fire. A space that’s authentic, diverse, and alive. This is networking, redefined.
