Would you like to host an Event in 2023?

Our monthly networking events offer our members the opportunity to connect with the businesses of Southwest Florida. Power Hour and Business After Hours vary in networking formats, but our very own members host both. As we head toward the new year, we have new opportunities for our members to engage whether that's through attending events, or even hosting them.
