Mixer with Saratoga Living

FRI, JUNE 27 (Tentative)

The start of Summer seems like it’s a million years away. But it’s closer than you think. We’re excited to team up with the crew at Saratoga Living for a mixer right before Saratoga Springs explodes (in population) for track season. 

Well, after the ‘Belmont bubble’ but before the true Saratoga season. You know what we mean.

    About Our Group

    We’re a networking group based in Saratoga Springs, NY, designed for professionals of all ages who are ready to level up their careers without the awkwardness of traditional networking. Our monthly events, including happy hours and fundraisers, provide a fun and relaxed environment to meet like-minded individuals, build meaningful connections, and grow professionally. Whether you’re looking to expand your circle, collaborate on new ideas, get a lead on a new lead, or simply connect with others who understand the hustle, we’re here to make networking feel natural—and maybe even enjoyable. Join us and see what a strong network can do for you!

    What Makes Us Different?

    Networking comes in many shapes and sizes, from chambers of commerce that foster community-wide connections to structured referral groups like BNI and Goldstar that focus on passing leads. Even smaller, local leads groups play a critical role in helping professionals connect and grow. Our group is a little different. We bridge the gap by offering a casual, approachable space where meaningful connections happen naturally. There’s no pressure to exchange referrals or stick to a rigid agenda—just the opportunity to meet like-minded professionals, build relationships, and find the support you need to thrive in your career.

    We encourage our members to explore the full networking landscape and use our group as just one of many tools to grow their connections. By branching out and combining different approaches, you can create a truly well-rounded network that works for your unique goals.
