This is the rescheduled event for February 19, 2025, that was originally scheduled for October 9, 2024.
Biz Bash is back and better than last time, with new partners and a new location. This second annual Biz Bash is a networking and business resources showcase for Polk County area entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Thanks to our collaboration with the partners involved, this event is completely free to attend, but registration is required!
This year the Biz Bash is being organized by BRIDGE Local and the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce. This year's event brings a sponsorship by Suncoast Credit Union, collaboration with SUN 'n FUN/Aerospace Center for Excellence and features samples of food items from Jet's Pizza, Sora Eatery, Garden Bistro, and Catapult Kitchen member Spurzile. Don't miss Frankly Bartending who will be serving up beer and wine! Last not but least, we appreciate Evolve Entertainment who is providing multiple photo booths.
Why attend? Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and learn from representatives of many business resource providers and organizations while networking with fellow business owners.
There will be fantastic local prizes and special appearances from local leaders.
