POP UP EVENT Pitch? Please!- The Networking for People Who Hate Networking

Pitch Please: Because Forced Small Talk Is So Last Season We can all be honest — most networking events feel like a competition for who can sound the most impressive in 30 seconds or less. Pitch Please. This isn’t that kind of gathering. We’re throwing out the elevator speeches, the business cards handed out like confetti, and the awkward “so, what do you do?” intros — and replacing them with genuine conversation, laughter, and a few “finally, my people” moments. Here’s what to expect: • No forced pitches, just real talk. • Light-hearted prompts to spark meaningful convo (no icebreakers that make you cringe). • A come-as-you-are vibe — sweats, heels, or power blazer all welcome. • Space to sip, laugh, and connect without the pressure to sell yourself. Whether you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or just someone who’s over the hustle-y networking hustle, Pitch Please is your monthly reminder that connection is supposed to feel good. Come for the people, stay for the energy — and leave with connections that actually matter. Pitch Please: Networking without the ick. Who This Is Not For: • If your idea of networking is handing out business cards like you’re a blackjack dealer… maybe sit this one out. • If you plan to pitch before you say hello — Pitch Please probably isn’t for you. • And if you like being the loudest one in the room? That’s okay — but this space is more about sharing the spotlight than stealing it. We’re building a vibe where everyone feels seen, heard, and comfortable — no slogans, no sales scripts, no need to “perform.” **If you’re the “networking royalty” type who loves to dominate every circle and redirect every story back to your offer… Pitch Please is probably not your kingdom. We’re more “round table” than “throne room.” Every now and then, it's incredible to offer someone an opportunity to share a little deeper about their work and for this Flagaship Pop Up of Pitch?Please! where we typically ditch the pitch, I am so pleased to offer a spotlight to Britneyy Staples. She is a wife, mom, entrepreneur, and personalized wellness advocate with a passion for helping people stop guessing when it comes to their health. After becoming deeply interested in how nutrition, lifestyle, hydration, supplementation, and everyday habits can affect the way we feel, Britney began exploring technology that gives people a more personalized look at their wellness. Today, she helps individuals better understand what their bodies may be telling them through non-diagnostic wellness technology, personalized insights, and practical education. Her approach is simple: your wellness shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. She loves to serve people who are curious about their health, want to be more proactive, and are ready to understand their bodies on a deeper level rather than relying on guesswork. If you’ve ever wondered, “What does my body actually need?” — you’ll probably want to meet her. I can't wait to hear her presentation and have already scheduled my session with her for after the event! See you there!
