Business Networking Events

The MBPA/MFBA has launched a new series of networking events for our members. For those of you that cannot join us in person, we have a series of digital networking events in which you can join us from your computer. These networking events are free to dues paying members of the MBPA/MFBA. Non-members and guest are $15 per person.

The purpose of this new initiative is to help expose members to other businesses that could be potential new business or a partner to you. It’s one key way to stay ahead of the economy. We will have time for you to introduce your business, distribute your contact information/materials, mingle with others and a speaker to discuss best business practices. 

The following networking events will be hosted across the state.
