2026 Q1-Q4 Cocktails & Connections Sponsorship

Held three times annually, our Cocktails & Connections meetups are an opportunity for businesses within the Grand Traverse Region to get plugged into a network, meet new people, and learn about becoming engaged with current and future members in a social environment. Each event draws 50 – 120 attendees from all types of businesses within the Grand Traverse Region. The Presenting Sponsor is responsible for providing alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, separate from their sponsorship. Food is optional, but not required.
