Network and Vibe - Networking for Professionals

Network & Vibe: A First Friday Experience for Ambitious Professionals

On Friday, March 6th, join Closer To Our Dreams and New Era Thinking for Network and Vibe—a high-energy networking experience designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, and career builders who are serious about connection, elevation, and growth.

Step into a relaxed yet intentional atmosphere where you can meet like-minded professionals, swap ideas, and build relationships that move your business or career forward.

We’re partnering with Bank OZK to bring this experience to downtown St. Pete during First Friday, creating the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversation and new opportunities.

• Entrepreneurs and small business owners ready to expand their network and visibility.​
• Corporate professionals looking to level up, explore new roles, or strengthen their leadership path.​
• Creatives, consultants, and side-hustlers seeking collaboration, referrals, and fresh ideas.
• Community-minded leaders who believe in building relationships, not just collecting business cards.

• Curated networking: Intentional conversations, warm introductions, and a space designed to help you actually connect—not just “work the room.”
• Growth-focused energy: Meet people who are serious about elevation—personally, professionally, and financially.
• First Friday vibe: Tap into the buzz of downtown St. Petersburg’s biggest monthly celebration while having a home base for real conversations and relationship-building.
• Resourceful partners: Learn more about how Bank OZK supports professionals and business owners in the St. Pete community.

• Date: Friday, March 6th (First Friday)​
• Time: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST
• Location: Bank OZK – 158 Beach Dr NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701

Come straight from work or slide through after you settle in downtown—just bring your cards, your ideas, and your openness to connect.

• Dress: Business casual or “after-work professional” – come as the best version of you.​
• Bring: Business cards, LinkedIn-ready phone, and a clear intention for what you want to walk away with (a new connection, a collaboration, a mentor, a client, etc.).​
• Mindset: This isn’t just another mixer; it’s a space to be seen, heard, and supported as you move closer to your goals.

Lock in your spot and be part of an evening where the right conversation can shift your next quarter—or your next chapter.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
