🍻🤝 Do you have an interest in building meaningful connections, expanding your network, and fostering local business growth? Join us for Hops & Handshakes 🍻🤝 - a zero pressure networking group - meeting every 2nd Wednesday of the month in Roseville, Minnesota. Welcome to Hops and Handshakes.

Big Picture:

– Business and Professional Networking

Guests are encouraged—but never required—to invite someone new. Our goal is to grow organically by being a positive resource for local businesses and professionals to connect and grow.

 

✔ Come to connect, stay to grow!

 

Who We Are

We are a group of business owners and professionals who enjoy connecting with other local businesses and professionals.

It troubled us that there was a lack of quality networking opportunities in the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities Metro area. We desired an alternative to the traditional “pay to play” business networking scene.

4:00 PM – 7:00 PM CST

Location

Roseville, Minnesota
