About this event

A business-focused event discussing the impact of community engagement on local business growth.

What to Expect

  • 1.Arrive a little early to check in and grab a seat near the main discussion. Bring 20-30 business cards and be ready with a 20-30 second intro about your business.
  • 2.Have a tight elevator pitch that explains how your business leverages community engagement, plus a concrete collaboration idea you could propose to a few attendees.
  • 3.During breaks, aim to meet 3-5 people from different local sectors and ask about their community initiatives; offer a quick win you could deliver.
  • 4.Take notes on key takeaways and potential partners, and write 2-3 concrete follow-up actions for people you want to reconnect with.
  • 5.Plan for the restaurant setting—check parking options near 200 West Fifth Street, Royal Oak, and be prepared for after-session mingling over light bites; dress smart-casual.
