SEETA ETA & SMB Networking Happy Hour
About This Event
SEETA ETA & SMB Networking Happy Hour
In collaboration with Huntington Bank, Wiggin(X) and Rejigg, we're bringing the ETA community together at the Southeast ETA Conference for a networking event focused on meeting fellow Searchers/Explorers, the people behind the deals, businesses, and ideas shaping the space.
We’re gathering Searchers, investors, operators, lenders, advisors, and other members of the ETA ecosystem for an easygoing evening of drinks, conversation, and connection.
SEETA brings together people from across the Southeast who are actively buying, building, financing, and supporting small businesses. This happy hour is a chance to get out of the conference format, meet people you may have only known online, and have the kinds of conversations that are harder to fit between panels and sessions.
Whether you’re actively searching, already operating a business, investing in deals, or supporting entrepreneurs through the acquisition process, this is a chance to meet more of the people doing the work.
Come for a drink, reconnect with familiar faces, and hopefully leave knowing a few more people than you did when you walked in.
