It’s a business network, Jim, but not as we know it.
Think this is just another networking and referrals group? Think again, friend. Here’s a whistle-stop tour through the wonderful world of the Northern Affinity.
In-person meet-ups
Get out from behind that desk.
Getting together in person is more important than you might think. So make the most of opportunities to be physically together with other awesome business owners as often as you can.
Co-working
Get out of the house, out of your head, and into some of the best co-working spaces the North has to offer. You’ll be in great company for good chat and getting stuff done.
In The Mix
This is networking the Northern Affinity way. Mingle with the friendliest folk in the northern business world and enjoy some small-group discussions to get you talking.
Social events
All work and no play would drive anyone up the wall. And building connections beyond the surface level means plenty of opportunities to hang out with food, drink, and lots of laughs.
Virtual events
Stay connected wherever you are.
First and foremost, we’re face-to-face friends. But no one can deny the value of an online community to support our real-life connections.
Circle
Everything that’s going on, all in one place – Circle is the beating heart of the Northern Affinity’s online community. From managing your membership to checking out upcoming events, you can do it all in Circle.
Talk 30
Think In The Mix’s little brother. Talk 30 is our online meetup where you’ll have opportunities for small group discussions and 1-to-1 chats, taking the overwhelm out of online networking.
Quick Thinking
A 20-minute live broadcast with a Northern Affinity partner spreading their wisdom and answering questions on their area of expertise. Learn a little something new about any topic from marketing to mortgages.
