  Promote your business and get quality networking time in before the workday even begins!

  Our November Wake Up with Quorum networking breakfast will be in-person at Queermunity Collaborative, the LGBTQAI2S+ community hub space (located at 3036 Hennepin Ave in Uptown in Minneapolis). If you haven't been to Queermunity yet, this is your chance to check it out and learn about all the incredible work they are doing.  

  Queermunity has a coffee shop and a small kitchen that serves breakfast sandwiches. Queermunity has graciously offered to open a half hour early just for our group, so there will be coffee available at 7:30am! For parking, there is plentiful metered and free on-street parking, and Queermunity validates parking for the 7 Points Ramp behind the mall across the street. Learn more about Queermunity before you go at https://www.queermunitymn.com/

  These breakfasts focus on roundtable networking and give attendees the chance to exchange business information, develop new prospects, and share a 60-second commercial. This networking event allows earlier risers to make the most of their busy morning and grow business through new connections and relationships. We also feature quick networking breakout sessions to share information about your business or organization, and get those referrals!

  Our (timed) 60-second pitches are very fun and yes it's okay to prep.  Don't forget that it’s great for other attendees to hear what you are looking to buy and who you want to meet, as well as what you are selling.

  New to Quorum?  
  Wake Up With Quorum (sponsored by Associated Bank) is usually held on the second Friday morning of every month at 8:00am, and is hosted by a Quorum member business. Wake Up With Quorum is a great alternative networking opportunity for members who are unable to attend events in the evening or prefer a smaller, more intimate environment. These networking events are a casual fun way to increase your networks, build your business and meet other community business leaders.  Quorum networking events are a perfect way to connect with new people, reignite existing contacts and start new conversations.
