💼🍹 PRO FRIENDOS: NETWORKING NIGHT (20s/30s/40s @ Bar Hana in Sarasota)

💼🍹 PRO FRIENDOS: NETWORKING NIGHT (20s/30s/40s @ Bar Hana)
Our 1st professional networking event. Business owners, entrepreneurs, and those looking to get create or join a growing startup—let's connect, collaborate, and level up.

(NOTE: normally we limit all events to 20/30's only since everyone is in that age range. However since we believe it will benefit the quality of the event, the professional nature of the event, and attendee experience, we're experimenting w/ opening up this event to people in their 40s.)

DATE & TIME
Thursday, November 6th
6:30 PM – grab a bite, drinks, and connect with the crew

LOCATION
Bar Hana (tiki bar next to Kojo) – 1289 N. Palm Ave, Downtown Sarasota
Tropical vibes, great cocktails, elevated bar food, and a chill atmosphere for conversation.

POSSIBLE PART 2...
If the vibe is strong, we might head over to the Westin rooftop bar afterward for a view and more conversation. It's a game-time decision as usual.
