Where Connections Happen
From casual mixers to high-impact masterminds, our events are designed to spark real conversations, build trusted relationships, and help Arkansas business owners grow—together.
Purposeful Business Networking in Arkansas
At Network Arkansas, our events are designed to create meaningful conversations that lead to real business growth. From coffees and educational sessions to mixers and member meetings, each gathering is professionally facilitated and intentionally structured. These are not open networking events built around collecting business cards. They are curated experiences for entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals who value clarity, contribution, and long-term relationships.
Some events are open to guests exploring the community, while others are reserved for members to allow for deeper conversation and continuity. This balance ensures every gathering is aligned, valuable, and designed to help people leave the room better than they arrived.
Coffee + Connections
Start the day with the right conversations.
Coffee Connections are casual, relationship-first gatherings designed to start conversations in a relaxed setting. Held monthly in the morning, these coffees are ideal for getting to know other professionals, learning what people actually do, and making thoughtful introductions. They’re a great entry point for those new to Network Arkansas and a consistent touchpoint for members to strengthen relationships over time.
Best for: First-time guests, relationship building, warm introductions
Availability: Typically open to guests

Business Bites
Lunch conversations with people building real businesses.
Business Bites are mid-day gatherings that combine thoughtful conversation with practical insight. Each session is built around a specific business topic and facilitated to encourage discussion, shared perspective, and real-world application rather than passive listening. These events are designed for professionals who value learning from peers and walking away with ideas they can actually use.
Business Bites create space for meaningful dialogue, clearer thinking, and connection over lunch, all in a focused, efficient format that respects busy schedules.
Best for: Learning, perspective, and peer-driven insight
Availability: Typically open to guests; some sessions may be members-focused

The Exchange
Where relationships turn into opportunities.
An intentional mixer for business owners, founders, and professionals who value real connection.
The Exchange is an intentional mixer designed for business owners, founders, and professionals who value real connection over surface-level networking. Rather than unstructured mingling, each Exchange is thoughtfully facilitated to help people meet the right individuals, have better conversations, and build relationships that naturally lead to opportunity.
These mixers are designed to feel engaging, efficient, and welcoming, creating space for meaningful dialogue and purposeful connection. The Exchange also serves as an introduction to the broader Network Arkansas community, offering a firsthand experience of what relationship-driven networking can look like when it’s done with intention.
Best for: Conversation, connection, and community-building
Availability: Often open to guests

The Members Table
Members lunch for connections and conversations.
The Members Table is a members-only social gathering designed to strengthen relationships outside of formal meetings. These lunches are intentionally unstructured, creating space for relaxed conversation, connection, and getting to know one another beyond business agendas.
This is where rapport deepens, trust grows naturally, and the community side of Network Arkansas comes to life.
Best for: Relationship-building, connection, and community
Availability: Members only
Member Meetings
Where clarity, trust, and growth compound.
Member meetings are the core of the Network Arkansas experience. These mastermind-style sessions are reserved for members and are designed around deeper discussion, collaboration, and accountability. Meetings include facilitated conversation, shared problem-solving, and intentional connection to help members think more clearly and move their businesses forward.
This is where trust compounds, relationships deepen, and long-term growth takes shape.
Best for: Depth, continuity, and strategic growth
Availability: Members only
Our Upcoming Meetings and Events
What if your network could actually pay you?
Interest Meeting
June 11th – 11:30 am
The Space with Grace
2005 Main Street
North Little Rock, AR 72114
Online
June 18th – 3:30 pm
June 23rd – 3:00 pm
What if your network could actually pay you?
Most business owners, sales professionals, and connectors already make referrals.
- You recommend the roofer.
- You introduce someone to a great service provider.
- You connect a business owner with the person who can help them.
- You pass along names because you know, like, and trust the people in your network.
But most referrals are never pay you back.
NIAx is a new paid referral (commission) model coming to Central Arkansas, built around trusted connections, tracked referrals, and real ROI.
This casual interest meeting is your chance to learn how NIAx works, who it is for, and how referrals can become more intentional, trackable, and potentially profitable.
We’ll also do some networking, so you’ll have a chance to meet other business owners, service providers, sales professionals, and natural connectors who are interested in a smarter way to grow through referrals.
At this interest meeting, you’ll learn:
- What NIAx is
- How the paid referral model works
- How referrals are tracked
- Who is a good fit
- Why members go through a background check
- How NIAx is different from traditional networking and leads groups
- What founding member opportunities are available in Central Arkansas
This is not a high-pressure presentation or a pitch-heavy networking event.
It is a casual, no-pressure meeting for people who believe relationships matter, referrals should be trusted, and networking should create clearer ROI.
If you already recommend businesses, make introductions, or connect people, come learn how those referrals could become part of a more intentional system.
No sign-up required. Just show up, meet a few good people, and learn how this new referral model works.
The Exchange (Networking Mixer)
Wednesday
June 24th – 3:30 pm
Location TBD
The Exchange Networking Mixer- TBD
Not your average networking. Facilitated connections.
Tired of networking that feels forced, repetitive, or like it never actually leads anywhere?
You’re not alone.
Most networking events are built around quick introductions, surface-level conversations, and hoping something sticks later. And while that can be fine, it’s rarely where real relationships or real opportunities come from.
Next Level Networking was created to be different.
This experience is designed for entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, and growth-minded professionals who want more out of the rooms they walk into. People who are building something, leading something, or ready to grow into what’s next.
This isn’t about handing out business cards.
It’s about having better conversations with the right people.
