LIBA Announces In-Person BizNet and Coffee & Contacts Networking Events in July

After hosting its first in-person Coffee & Contacts at Strictly Business on June 23, the Lincoln Independent Business Association (LIBA; www.liba.org) is hosting two networking events at local venues in July. The July BizNet—the first in four months—is on tap for Thursday, July 9, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Rodizio Grill in the Haymarket. LIBA will follow that up with its Custom Blinds & Design Coffee & Contacts on July 28, from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Capital Cigar Lounge, located off of 16th and Old Cheney.

LIBA’s BizNet after-hours event serves up a networking opportunity for local businesspeople to share tips, trends, and referrals and talk about the business climate and forecasts. Join them for complimentary appetizers, beverages, and networking, courtesy of the Rodizio Grill, at 737 P St. The event is free to attend and is open to LIBA members and their guests.

The Custom Blinds & Design Coffee & Contacts in July promises to be the perfect way to start out your work day, enjoying complimentary breakfast nibbles and coffee while you network and meet new business contacts, courtesy of Capital Cigar Lounge, at 5505 S 16th St. STE 100. This event also is free to attend and is open to LIBA members and their guests.

The first in-person Coffee & Contacts in June was a tremendous success, with more than 50 people turning out for the event. Participants clearly enjoyed getting face-to-face with their friends in business after a long quarantine. They also got to meet new contacts, share referrals, and participate in a drawing for some great prizes, including a ticket to the 8th Annual Strictly Business Party in the Garden fundraiser for Domesti-PUPS, a free ad in the magazine, and a travel coffee mug from Custom Blinds & Design.
