Where Local Business Meets AI
A Mixer & Panel for Owners and Operators of Local Service Businesses
This is a networking mixer first — built to bring together the people who run local service businesses so you can meet each other, trade notes, and build relationships that turn into referrals, partnerships, and growth.
The conversation starter? A 60-minute panel on what's actually working when local service businesses use AI: lead capture, scheduling, follow-up, content, marketing, hiring — and the honest tradeoffs of automating a business built on relationships.
Who This Is For
You'll fit right in if you own, operate, or work at a local service business. That includes:
Home services: contractors, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, cleaners
Personal care: salons, spas, barbers, fitness studios
Health & wellness: dental, chiropractic, therapy, medical practices
Professional services: real estate, law, accounting, insurance, financial advising
Food & hospitality: restaurants, cafés, caterers, event venues
Auto, pet care, childcare, and other community-serving businesses
Owners, founders, GMs, marketing leads, and senior team members all welcome.
What You'll Walk Away With
Real connections with 30–50 local service business owners and operators
Relationships that can lead to referrals, partnerships, and clients
Concrete ideas from peers using AI to win more customers and run leaner
Honest answers about what works, what doesn't, and what's overhyped
