Trying to make your way in a city full of talent is hard. Knowing people helps. I’ve appreciated many networking groups in Grand Rapids and thought I’d pull together some of my favorites just in case you’re looking to connect with some new faces.
Creative Mornings is a national group but our local chapter is amazing. At Creative Mornings attendees gather in cities around the world to enjoy fresh coffee, friendly people, and an array of breakfast foods. Volunteer hosts and their team members organize local chapters that not only celebrate a city’s creative talent, but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. The growing archive of past breakfast talks is humbling. From design legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme.
AIGA advances design as a professional craft, strategic advantage and vital cultural force. As the largest community of design advocates, they bring together practitioners, enthusiasts, and patrons to amplify the voice of design and create the vision for a collective future. They have all sorts of ways to get involved with board and committee position as well as event coordinators and their ever popular Design Week.
Start Garden is a hub for all things entrepreneurial in Grand Rapids. In addition to all of their networking and startup events, they have their Startup Digest events calendar that pulls all sorts of other events that might be interesting to the start up, many of which are coding classes. Check them and their events out for opportunities in Grand Rapids.
Jump start your day! Coffee with Creators is an early morning, but casual coffee meetup for anyone that’s interested in technology, design and business—at all levels. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or totally ‘green’, take the opportunity to join coLearning students, professionals and companies to chat, get to know one another, and share experiences.
Connections over a few beers are Drinks and Digital’s MO. Social media managers, email marketers, bloggers, content creators, photographers – really, anyone interested in digital marketing and having a chat are always welcome at this ongoing and casual opportunity to connect with others. Collaborate. Discuss your latest campaign. Share tools. Geek out. Cheers.
