The Connect Nashville Business Networking Facebook Group is not your average Facebook group. This forum style group consists of business professionals specifically in the Greater Nashville area.

Frequently Asked Questions
DO I HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO ATTEND A MEETING?
Nope! All of the meetings listed on the Events page are free to attend. Our meetings are not member-based or seat-specific, and you can attend any and all meetings as many times as you would like.
WHY WOULD I PAY TO POST IN A FACEBOOK GROUP?
The Connect Nashville Business Networking Facebook Group is a lot different than any other group out there!
1. We do not allow promotional posts or commercials, and our Preferred Members have the ability to promote themselves with post/s in the group!
2. 75% of our group members are active within the group each week! That means they are reading posts, making comments, engaging on posts and exploring the group overall!
3. We are adding hundreds of new people to the group each month!
4. And we only allow business professionals in the Greater Nashville area inside the group. Individuals have to be located in the Greater Nashville area and must be joining on behalf of a business so we keep a professional and business-minded community.
WHAT IF I WANT TO POST MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH IN THE FACEBOOK GROUP?
We do have the option to purchase more #PreferredMember Posts for $100 per four posts. Please note we do not allow more than two posts a week from one member.
WHAT IF I FORGET TO POST ONE MONTH?
#PreferredMember posts do not rollover, so be sure to take advantage of them once a month!
WHAT ABOUT SPONSORING HAPPY HOUR EVENTS?
Connect Nashville Beers and Business Happy Hours provide a casual networking environment after hours in which we have a number of sponsors and Preferred Members get first access to be a sponsor.
As a sponsor, your business will be included in all promotion of the event to 40,000+ business professionals in Nashville, you will get the opportunity to have a banner, booth or table at the event (space permitting) and be included in the recap of the event on social media.
For preferred members, the cost to sponsor is a one-time fee of $100. For non-members, the cost is a one-time fee of $250.
DO I GET ANY BENEFITS AS A PREFERRED MEMBER WHEN I ATTEND A MEETING?
We do offer the option for our Preferred Members to sponsor one of our weekly meetings. Your business and/or logo will be included on any social media content promoting or recapping the meeting. At the meeting, you’ll give a 10-minute presentation and have a display table with handouts/samples/etc. Sponsorship starts at $100 for Preferred Members only and can vary depending on the meeting size.
WHAT IF I HAVE MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES?
Each employee must pay for an individual membership, the membership belongs to the individual, not the company.
WHAT IF I HAVE MULTIPLE BUSINESSES?
To have multiple businesses listed in the directory and to be eligible for the promotional and sponsorship perks, each business will require an additional membership.
IS MY MEMBERSHIP REFUNDABLE?
Memberships are non-refundable.
WHAT IF I LEAVE MY COMPANY?
The membership belongs to the individual and is managed by the individual, so you can change your membership details and business listing at any time.
