Massachusetts Business Network Kicks Off Its Launch Party

After officially launching our platform in November 2022, we were beyond excited to finally host our launch party to celebrate what we’ve achieved so far and look forward to what’s to come. Held at Castle Island Brewing in Norwood on May 4th, 2023, more than 60 business owners and professionals came together to enjoy a cash bar, appetizers, and plenty of networking opportunities.

A huge thank you to our sponsors:

Massachusetts Business Network’s Launch Party

Seeing Familiar Faces and Meeting New Ones

One of the best parts about going to a networking event is catching up with folks you haven’t seen in a while and meeting new people in the community. With more than 60 individuals who attended our event, it was wonderful to see that most people didn’t already know each other and were making new connections left and right.

It was so heartwarming to walk around and hear all of the conversations that were happening about potential collaborations, business ideas, and plans to reconnect. What could be better than that?

Indulging in an Array of Food & Drinks

Castle Island Brewing had an amazing menu prepared for us with food and drinks. Between dozens of beers and drinks on tap as well as charcuterie boards, pizzas, wings, salads, and sandwiches galore, there were several treats for all guests to enjoy. Plus, with their Massachusetts Business Network koozies, it was so fun to see a wave of branded drinks throughout the crowd!

Guests were even able to take leftovers home to enjoy due to the surplus that was available — the best “favor” or parting gift!

Celebrating Massachusetts Business Network’s Success

After launching only six months ago, we’re ecstatic to share the success we’ve already achieved. Having listed more than 60 businesses in our directory, promoted nearly 500 networking events, released almost 30 podcast episodes, and published more than 40 blog posts, we’re thrilled to think about what we’ve already done and can’t wait to see what’s next.

Thank you to all who have played a role in this!
