Featured quick win
Social media and AI, in 10 minutes
Madalyn Hawthorn of Movement Marketing will share a few practical ways to use social media and AI that you can try the same week. No fluff, no jargon — just ideas you can actually use.
Movement Marketing: social media + marketing that connects. “We don't chase trends. We build trust.”
We start on time and end on time.
One hour, sharp. You'll be back to your day by 12:30.
What happens at lunch
Neighbors introduce themselves with 60-second intros, trade real referrals, and support each other with Google reviews.
- 60-second intros — your name, what you do, and who you help.
- Real referrals — tell the room what a good referral looks like for you.
- Google reviews — no incentives, nothing in exchange.
What to bring
Business cards and your Google review QR code if you have one.
