These groups are great opportunities for peer-to-peer engagement, sharing of industry best practices, and real-time learnings and struggles of currently relevant topics. They're also great for networking across your primary job function to meet other people in your role in different industry verticals.

While Beer & Biz is not hosted by the Colerain Chamber, we are proud to support this exciting opportunity for our members to connect, network, and engage with business professionals from across the city in a fresh, dynamic setting.
