Description

Small businesses are a major part of what makes our Chamber community strong.

This month, networking in Charlotte comes to life at Protagonist Beer, a space built for stories, conversation, and community. In recognition of Small Business Month, we are bringing LGBTQ+ and allied professionals together for an evening centered on local connection, small business visibility, and the relationships that help our business community grow.

This gathering is an opportunity to see familiar faces, meet new ones, and connect with the entrepreneurs, professionals, corporate partners, nonprofit leaders, and future members who make up the Chamber network. Whether you own a business, work for one, support one, or simply want to get more connected, this event is intentionally low-pressure and focused on authentic connection.

This is not about forced introductions or transactional networking. It is about showing up for community, supporting local business, and creating space for partnerships and opportunities to grow organically. Over craft beer and good conversation, you will find connection that feels genuine, useful, and rooted in community.

What to Expect:

• A relaxed, welcoming, and social atmosphere at Protagonist Beer
• Meaningful conversations with small business owners, professionals, corporate partners, and community leaders
• A Small Business Month focus that highlights the people and businesses helping power our local economy
• A low-pressure networking environment where relationships can grow naturally

Members receive a complimentary beverage.

Come grab a drink, support local business, share your story, and be part of a Chamber community where connection is always on tap.
