Professional Headshots & Networking Social – Tampa Edition
About this Event
Join us for the official in-person kickoff of The Business Network Series, a high-value, community-backed experience designed to help small business owners build visibility, confidence, and authentic connections.
We're bringing the strategy and the fun, with free professional headshots, light bites, drinks, and a casual but intentional networking vibe. This event is completely free to attend thanks to our amazing sponsors.
What to Expect:
Come as You Are: This isn’t corporate, and there’s no pressure to perform. Whether you’re showing up with a pitch or just need a fresh LinkedIn photo, this space is for you. Come dressed in what makes you feel camera-ready, and let’s make networking feel like a gift, not a grind. Bring any props for your photo, like, laptop, an apron, duster/gloves, etc.
Free Headshots = More Than Just a Photo: You’ll get a professional headshot taken by a professional photographer and tips on how to use it across your brand, from your website to your digital business cards template. It's not just about a picture; it's about helping you show up strategically. (Bonus: Digital Business Card Template (valued at $149))
Better Networking, No Awkward Small Talk: Expect warm intros, value-driven conversations, and guidance on how to present your business authentically. Whether you're launching something new or building your legacy, this is a room where presence turns into opportunity.
Not Just a Mixer—This Is a Movement: The Business Network Series was created to support busy, introverted, or under-networked business owners with the tools, exposure, and prep they need to shine—without expensive ticket fees, exhausting panels, or sales-y pitches.
The Venue: The French Chateau of Odessa
Nestled on two private acres of timeless elegance, the French Chateau of Odessa sets the perfect scene for intentional networking and unforgettable brand moments.
This luxury estate blends European charm with modern functionality, featuring both indoor and outdoor spaces that create a stunning backdrop for photography, business gatherings, and elevated experiences.
Our upcoming event will be hosted across the Chateau’s airbnb-style guest wing and a beautifully designed private function space, giving attendees room to relax, connect, and show up as their best selves.
BONUS: The venue owner is also open to hosting other business-forward events. If you fall in love with the space (like we did), it could be the perfect location for your next pop-up, launch party, or community meetup.
