Coffee & Contacts
Start your day with a pick-me-up of positivity during a coffee meetup. Join nearly 100 fellow professionals to forge new relationships, exchange contact info and enjoy a chat over a fresh cup. Coffee & Contacts will introduce you to a member business, while you introduce yourself to fellow business professionals.
At in-person events, we offer businesses an opportunity to have a vendor table. As a table vendor at Coffee & Contacts, you’re invited to put your best business foot forward with samples, brochures, flyers and more.
Each event is attended by more than 100 area influencers from business owners and corporate executives to nonprofit coordinators and solo-preneurs. You’ll meet new peers and possibly connect with someone seeking your unique services.
Only five table vendors are selected for each Coffee and Contacts; so, don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this elite group. Tables are available on a first come, first serve basis.
