Going Beyond the Business Card
Founded on the need for a fresh approach to networking, the Social Light Business Club has been redefining how professionals connect across Massachusetts since November 2022.
Through a series of nomadic events, we showcase the very best the region has to offer seamlessly bridging the gap between work and play.
From themed parties and professional dinners and community initiatives, every gathering is designed to inspire connection and collaboration.
We believe networking should go beyond boring elevator pitches and impersonal business card exchanges. At the Social Light Business Club, referrals are built on trust and relationships.
Our calendar features everything from elegant soirées to relaxed meetups, all with one goal in mind; creating deep, meaningful connections among professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, and rising innovators.
The Social Light Business Club is Central Massachusetts’ premier networking and social group.
Lighting the way to success, one celebration at a time.
And the best part? You’re invited.
