Step right up, step out of your comfort zone, and step right into the most fun you'll ever have "networking."

We heard you. Meeting new people can feel like a lot. The name tags, the small talk, the pressure to say the perfect thing. So we ditched the stuffy conference room and picked somewhere better.

You're invited to WBOA Networking Night at the Big E!

When: Thursday September 24, 2026 6:00 - 8:00 PM, come early if desired
Where: The Big E — [We will meet behind the Massachusetts Building at 6PM, near Valley Malt (and the clock tower by Gate 1)]

Price: Eleven-After-Five: $11 After 5pm, valid Sun.-Thurs. — thebige.com
Who it's for: Women business owners across the Pioneer Valley, especially anyone who'd rather skip the traditional networking scene.

Why this beats a regular mixer
Built-in icebreakers everywhere. Rides, fair food, and entertainment mean there's always something to talk about (no awkward silences here).

Low pressure, real connection. Wander, snack, and chat at your own pace — genuine conversation happens naturally.

Business talk without the stiffness. Swap ideas, find collaborators, and grow your business while actually enjoying yourself.

What to expect
A relaxed evening of fresh faces, familiar friends, and all the sights, sounds, and flavors of the fair. Come hungry, come curious, and come ready to meet the women who might just become your next partners, clients, or friends.
