2026 ICAN Philadelphia Small Business Networking Mixer

St. Louis's small business community is stronger when we show up for each other. Join us for an evening of purposeful networking at Cambridge Innovation Center Philadelphia on Thursday, September 10th from 6:00–8:00 PM ET.

This event is designed for established small business owners and the partners who support them. If you’re running and growing a business in Philadelphia, this is your room—a space to make real connections, not just exchange business cards. Past attendees have made an average of seven meaningful new connections at ICAN events, leading to new business opportunities, partnerships, and lasting relationships.

Inner City Capital Connections (ICCC) Program Overview

This event will also feature information about the ICCC Philadelphia Program, a free, 40-hour "mini-MBA" executive education program designed to provide small businesses with the tools and resources to grow and scale their business! ICCC has helped over 200 businesses create close to 300 jobs, raise $35M in capital, and grow their revenues on average by 40%!

You'll get a chance to connect with past program participants, program partners, and more! Interested businesses can apply for the program here!
