Business Speed Networking in Southwest Florida: Connecting the Right People, Faster

In Southwest Florida, business owners are busy. Time matters, relationships matter, and real opportunities come from real conversations. That is exactly why SWFL Business Magazine created Business Speed Networking — a structured, professional way to meet the right people without wasting time.

Our events welcome professionals from Marco Island, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and Fort Myers — as well as surrounding communities. If you do business in Southwest Florida, these events are designed for you.

What is Business Speed Networking?

Business Speed Networking works like “speed dating,” but for business connections.

You rotate from table to table and meet many professionals in a short amount of time. Each conversation is focused, respectful, and timed. You introduce yourself, share what you do, exchange cards, and move to the next person.

It is:

organized
fast-paced
professional
highly productive

If you want to grow your network in a clean, organized, alcohol-free, business-only environment — while also giving back to the community — our Business Speed Networking events are designed for you.

Meet real professionals.
Have real conversations.
Create real opportunities.
