Each Circle is led by a local business leader and gives you the chance to:

  • Build real relationships that turn into referrals and revenue.

  • Connect with up to three professionals per industry—no overcrowding.

  • Join meetings that fit your lifestyle—in-person or online.

  • Be part of a national network while staying rooted in your local community.Here's some stuff

Here’s How It Works

Step-by-step Breakdown:

  • Register for an Event

  • Show Up, Be Prepared

  • Bring your business cards and a one-minute intro pitch. Dress professionally.

  • Speed Round Networking

  • Meet 8–12 professionals in short, timed conversations. No awkward mingling — just productive chats.

  • Connect & Follow Up

  • Leave with real leads, connections, and new contacts to follow up with.

    • Bonus:

  • You’ll also enjoy great venues, light refreshments, and a positive local atmosphere.

Attendance Expectations for Members

  • Active Participation is Key: To maintain the integrity and value of the group, active participation is essential. Members are strongly encouraged to attend every Wednesday, as consistent presence builds trust, familiarity, and the strong relationships that lead to referrals.

  • Minimum Attendance Requirement: At a minimum, we ask that members attend at least three out of four weeks each month.

  • Membership Review: If a member is consistently unable to meet this attendance guideline, we may need to re-evaluate their membership status—especially if there is another professional in the same category who is ready to commit more fully.

  • Show Up, Grow Your Network: Remember, the strength of Sarasota Speed Networking lies in showing up. The more you're present, the more opportunities you create for connection, collaboration, and referral growth.

Membership Commitment at Sarasota Speed Networking

  • One-Year Commitment: When you join Sarasota Speed Networking, we ask for a one-year commitment. Strong relationships take time to build, and we want members who are dedicated to creating lasting connections—not just dropping in for 30 days.

  • Life Happens: We understand that circumstances change. In special situations, such as serious illness or relocating out of the area, members may provide a 30-day notice and step away early.
