A relaxed evening of connection, conversation, and community for small business owners.

The Small Business Social does networking a little differently.

We created this event because we believed there had to be a better way to connect with other business owners.

A way that felt less like collecting business cards and more like building real relationships.

A place where conversations happen naturally.
Where people feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are.
Where visibility, support, collaboration, and community all happen in the same room.

Whether you're launching your first business, growing something established, or simply looking to meet good people who understand the entrepreneurial journey, you're welcome here.

What Makes This Event Different?

• Relaxed, pressure-free networking

• A welcoming environment for introverts and first-time attendees

• Genuine conversations over sales pitches

• Opportunities to build meaningful local connections

• Two Featured Community Businesses sharing their stories and showcasing what they do

At each event, we shine a spotlight on two local businesses doing amazing things in our community. Featured businesses may provide demonstrations, samples, or interactive experiences for attendees.

Who Should Attend?

• Small business owners

• Home-based business owners

• Entrepreneurs

• Side hustlers

• Startups

• Community builders

Whether you've been in business for 10 days or 10 years, there's a place for you here.

Come meet some great people.

You never know where one conversation might lead.
