Business & Brews is a casual networking happy hour for community-engaged professionals from all walks of life in the Charleston / Lowcountry SC area. Each gathering has a 10-15 minute presentation by a local community leader, and the speaker typically takes Q&A from attendees afterwards. B&B is typically free to attend and open to the public. Our monthly speakers leave the PowerPoints and structured speeches behind and tell their stories in a laidback and fun atmosphere. So let your hair down, take that tie off, roll up your sleeves, grab a cold one and mingle with like-minded professionals who want to rub elbows with people who care about their community and the folks who make it a great place to live.
