Méraki Connect

This networking group is designed to connect and inspire all types of entrepreneurs, professionals and creatives. Event info It can feel lonely, "clique-ish", expensive in time and money, or just down right intimidating to put yourself out there in the real-world versus social media. This group is designed to go deeper than exchanging elevator pitches and business cards. We believe the referrals and the business naturally come from networking- but only if theres a lasting impression and a connection! Plus, small business is so much more than numbers and gaining more business. Our goals is to have everybody leave with at least 1 of these 3: To feel supported/heard, to be inspired, or/and to gain a genuine connection. So far, it seems that this group has been pretty successful at obtaining that goal as the feedback has been reflective of that. This networking group will be structured, follow an agenda and have a down-to-earth feel while simultaneously talking about business. We are looking for 1 featured business and 1-2 vendor set ups for every networking session. Email [email protected] to inquire. More info: • Our goal is to start on time. Please plan on arriving at least 5 min early. Arrive as early as 30 min earlier to mingle with other professionals! • Who is invited?
