Hot Wings & Handshakes - Community Networking on Fire!

🔥 Hot Wings & Handshakes: The Networking Event That Bites Back 🔥

Tired of the same old networking events… name tags, small talk, and “So what do you do?” on repeat?

Yeah… we were too.

So we created something different.

Welcome to Hot Wings & Handshakes — where real conversations happen over rising heat, bold questions, and a little bit of courage.

Here’s how it works:
You’ll sit down with a table of 5, start with a mild wing, and work your way up through 10 levels of heat.
At each round, you’ll draw a question—some fun, some deep, some unexpected—and share your answer with the group.

As the heat builds… so do the conversations.

🔥 Laughs turn into real stories
🔥 Small talk turns into meaningful connection
🔥 And by the end, you’ll know the people at your table way better than any typical networking event

Two Rounds – Choose Your Challenge:

• 🌶️ The Icebreaker Round (Mild to Medium) – perfect if you like flavor without the fire
• 🔥 The Deal Closer Round (Medium to Wild) – for those ready to turn up the heat

Not into spicy food? No problem—we’ve got milder options so you can still play and connect.

What You Get:
✔️ A one-of-a-kind networking experience
✔️ Real conversations with real people
✔️ Access to 100+ local professionals
✔️ Food, drinks, and a room full of energy
✔️ A chance to compete for the final round: “The Final Handshake” (our version of the last dab 👀)

Whether you're here to grow your business, meet new people, or just try something completely different…

This is not your average networking event.

Early Bird: $35
