Eleven events. Eleven great opportunities to connect. Forward Janesville is excited to announce the dates and hosts for its 2027 Business After Five networking series!
One of Forward Janesville's most popular member benefits is back for another year, with a lineup of host businesses and organizations representing a wide variety of industries throughout our community.
Business After Five (BA5) brings together business professionals, community leaders and entrepreneurs for an evening of networking, relationship-building and discovering more about the businesses and organizations helping move our region forward.
And with events regularly drawing 175 to 200 or more attendees, there's no shortage of opportunities to make your next great business connection.
Your 2027 Business After Five Schedule
All events are scheduled for the second Thursday of the month from 5-7 p.m.
Please note: There will be no Business After Five event in November as Forward Janesville turns its attention to its Annual Dinner.
We're grateful to each of these member businesses and organizations for opening their doors and helping make these events possible.
More Than Just Networking
Business After Five is about more than exchanging business cards.
It's about putting faces to names, strengthening existing relationships and making connections that can lead to new customers, partnerships and opportunities.
Each event also offers attendees a chance to visit a different Forward Janesville member business, meet its team and learn more about its work and impact in our community.
Whether you're a longtime member who rarely misses a BA5 or someone looking to make your first connection, these events provide an informal, welcoming environment to grow your professional network.
And remember: When your business is a Forward Janesville member, so are your employees!
We encourage member businesses to make BA5 a team opportunity. Invite a coworker, introduce a newer employee to the local business community, or bring someone who might benefit from expanding their professional connections.
Make Connections Part of Your 2027 Plans
The best business relationships don't happen overnight. They're built through conversations, introductions and showing up.
So get these dates on your calendar, invite a colleague and make a point to join us throughout 2027.
We look forward to seeing familiar faces, welcoming new ones and celebrating the businesses and organizations that make our community a great place to do business.
