SMALL BUSINESS NETWORKING DONE RIGHT

Let’s Get Together

Flexibility is critical when finding time to attend small business networking events because work doesn’t always begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. Whether you prefer to meet in the morning, at noon or at night, BWN has you covered. Or, maybe you’d prefer to meet virtually. Don’t worry, we also offer select online meetings to help make networking accessible for members.

REMEMBER: Members can receive an early registration discount on the cost of luncheons.

Bringing a guest to a luncheon? Register your guest online when you complete your registration. Register by noon the Friday before the meeting and your guests also get the Early Bird Member rate.

8:30–10 a.m. Coffee Meetups: Some members are freshest in the morning and prefer to meet over a hot cup of coffee. BWN offers members the opportunity to host coffee meetups at their office or a local café in Howard County. There is no presenter and this event provides participants a more casual environment for members to network.

11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. Luncheons: Generally held at a location in Howard County that can accommodate at least 100 members, luncheons are our prime networking opportunity for members and their guests and often feature a speaker who presents a topic identified via an annual membership survey. During luncheons, BWN also honors volunteers, awards members and collects donation items to benefit a local nonprofit organization.

5–7 p.m. Happy Hours: Located at local restaurants and bars around Howard County, BWN happy hours are a lot of fun. Like coffee meetups, members can also host happy hours. There is no presenter and this event provides members a more relaxed environment for networking.
