Sun Coast Loop

Business Owners Networking Group

Networking without the bullshit.

Come as you are.

BONG is for local business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals who want to meet actual people instead of standing around trading business cards. Think comedy, cold drinks, good food and zero PowerPoint.

What a night looks like

Drinks, laughs, actual conversations

  1. 01

    A comedian, not a keynote

    Local comics take the stage instead of a speaker with a clicker.

  2. 02

    Real food and cold drinks

    Held at local spots, so you meet the place as well as the people.

  3. 03

    Introductions that happen on their own

    No name tags. People find each other. It is weirdly easy.

  4. 04

    Business happens later

    You will leave with a few real contacts and a friend or two.
