SUMMARY:Just Market
DESCRIPTION:A half-day conference for those who want to win attention\, build trust\, and stay top of mind without being salesy.\nTL;DR: Watch The Video Instead\nEveryone’s selling something. Fewer people know how to be remembered.\nJust Market is a half-day conference for professionals who want to grow the right way. Through relationships\, reputation\, and real connection. Not scripts. Not pressure. Not another pitch.\nHosted by Jake Maines\, host of the #1 Networking Event in the 757\, Just Market exists because the most successful people in any room aren’t the loudest ones. They’re the ones everyone already knows\, likes\, and trusts before the conversation even starts. This conference teaches you how to become that person.\nWhat you’ll walk away with:\nA sharper personal brand that makes you the one people think of first\nPractical networking and follow-up skills that build real relationships\nStrategies for staying top of mind without being salesy\nTools to use AI\, content\, and community to grow your business\nA room full of people who think the same way you do\nThe format:\nSix speakers. 20-minute sessions. Real conversation. No fluff. MC’d by Zack Miller\, sessions run from 1:00 PM through 5:00 PM. Then the conference flows directly into the 5th Anniversary of Networking Happy Hour downstairs at The Market at Waterside\, running until 8:00 PM. You’ll leave with ideas you can use the next morning and connections you’ll still be talking about next year.\nWho should be in the room:\nBusiness owners. Sales professionals. Entrepreneurs. Service providers. Coaches\, creatives\, and anyone who grows through people. If the world keeps telling you to be pushier and you’d rather just be better\, this is for you.

SUMMARY:Networking Happy Hour's 5th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Voted Best Networking Event In The 757\nFive years ago\, I started Networking Happy Hour with no agenda\, no speakers\, and no idea it would turn into this.\nJust a simple idea: get good people in a room\, skip the formalities\, and see what happens.\nWhat happened was a community. Hundreds of professionals from across Hampton Roads who show up every month to have real conversations\, make real connections\, and grow their businesses the way it has always worked best — through people they actually know and trust.\nOn August 5th we are celebrating five years of that.\nThe 5th Anniversary of Networking Happy Hour is happening at The Market at Waterside in Norfolk from 5 to 8 p.m. Same format as always. No pitches\, no agenda\, no name tag awkwardness. Just the best networking event in the 757 with a reason to make it a night worth remembering.\nIf you have been coming for years\, thank you. If you have been meaning to come and haven’t made it yet\, this is the one to show up for.\nCome when you can. Stay as long as you want.\nThe night follows directly after Just Market Conference\, held upstairs at The Harbor Club at Waterside. One building. One afternoon. One evening worth your time.\nFree to attend. Just show up.
