Member Meetup: Happy Hour & Good Company
November 20 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Good conversations. New connections. Everyone is welcome.
Who says networking has to feel like networking?
Join NAWBO – Buffalo/Niagara for a casual Friday evening at The Gypsy Parlor, where the conversation is easy, the company is good, and there’s always room for one more at the table.
Whether you’re a longtime NAWBO member, a new entrepreneur, an established business owner, a community professional, or simply someone who wants to meet new people, we’d love to see you.
Bring a friend. Invite a colleague. Come solo. Everyone belongs.
There’s no formal agenda, no presentations, and absolutely no pressure to pitch your business. Just an opportunity to unwind, make new connections, reconnect with familiar faces, and enjoy the company of people from across our Buffalo Niagara community.
Come As You Are. Connect As You Wish.
We believe the strongest communities bring together people with different experiences, backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas.
That’s what our Member Meetups are all about: creating space for genuine connections, unexpected conversations, and new friendships.
You don’t have to be a NAWBO member to attend. You don’t even have to own a business. If you’re interested in meeting people, supporting our local community, or learning more about NAWBO, you’re welcome here.
Stay for one drink, grab a bite, or settle in for the evening. There’s no right way to participate.

More Ways to Connect. More Reasons to Belong.
Our events are just one way to connect, learn, and build meaningful relationships. Whether you’re attending a NAWBO – Buffalo/Niagara gathering or exploring opportunities hosted by our members and community partners, there’s always something happening across WHY. Here’s what distinguishes our Chapter Events from Community Events.
Chapter Events are organized and hosted by NAWBO – Buffalo/Niagara. These include monthly dinner meetings, held on the second Wednesday of each month, September through June, along with workshops, networking gatherings, and special events.
Community Events are hosted by our members, partners, and other organizations throughout WNY. These include educational programs, networking opportunities, fundraisers, and other events that support women business owners and our broader business community.
