What Is Connect Santa Barbara?
Connect Santa Barbara is a different, fun and welcoming business networking group that embraces new members. You won't be hounded for leads or attacked by people trying to sell you something. The first visit is free and the cost is only $5 per meeting after that (cash only). A business card wall is available to members after their second visit to make it easy for others to find and use your services. We meet every Friday and you are welcome to attend every week, every 2 weeks or once a month - whatever works for you. Coffee, tea and snacks are provided and you are welcome to bring something to share! We meet in the auditorium at the First Methodist Church, 305 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. This is not a church sponsored event and there is no religious content or affiliation.
