🌿 The Open Table
A Small Biz Collective Gathering
Thursday, January 22 | 6:00 - 7:30 PM
📍 Panther’s Gate Lil Witch
432 W. Fillmore St., Colorado Springs
Over the past year, we’ve been building real connections—introducing small businesses to one another, sharing resources, stepping in to help when challenges arise, and watching genuine collaboration take root.
The Open Table is the next natural step.
Not just connecting with us—but connecting with each other.
This gathering is for small business owners, vendors, makers, creatives, and community builders who want actual community, not performative networking.
This is not a pitch room.
This is not a hierarchy.
This is not a competition.
It’s a space for honest conversation, shared experience, and real support from the only people who truly understand what it means to run a small business.
What we don’t do:
❌ No high fees in exchange for information
❌ No memberships required to move forward
❌ No hoops to jump through
❌ No selling access to people
❌ No competitive posturing
What we do:
✨ Free, open idea sharing
✨ Vendor-to-vendor support
✨ Conversations rooted in lived experience
✨ Learning from people who are in it—or have already been there
✨ Helping each other figure out what the next step looks like
This space is open to all backgrounds.
Our values are informed by camaraderie and mutual support—but what matters most is how you show up.
If you come to collaborate, learn, share, and support—you belong here.
If you come to compete, posture, or extract—this will not be your place.
Bring your business cards, a notebook, and any questions you might have for other businesses who might have an answer for you.
🕯️ Participation:
This gathering is free to attend.
We’re simply asking for a $5 optional donation to help cover light refreshments and support Panther’s Gate Lil Witch for staying open after hours to host us.
No one is ever turned away.
We already have a strong community.
The Open Table is how we protect it—and grow it.
