Referrals & Roasts: Pale Horse Edition

Start your morning with strong coffee and stronger connections.

Referrals & Roasts: Pale Horse Edition is part of a growing networking series designed to bring local business owners, sales professionals, entrepreneurs, and referral-minded people together in different locations across Hampton Roads.

This edition is happening at Pale Horse Coffee in Summit Pointe, giving Chesapeake professionals a casual, intentional space to meet new people, build referral relationships, and grow their local network without the stiff “stand around awkwardly and hope someone talks to you” routine.

This is an open networking event, which means you do not need to belong to a specific group, chapter, or organization to attend. Just show up ready to meet people, talk about your business, and look for ways to create real referral relationships.

Come ready to share:

Who you are
What you do
Who you are looking to meet
What kind of referrals would actually help your business grow

Whether you are brand new in business, growing your client base, trying to get more visible in the local business community, or just tired of networking events that feel like a hostage situation with coffee, this is for you.

Grab a coffee, meet good people, and start building relationships that can turn into real business.
