Purchase extra tickets and invite your LinkedIn connections to attend as your guest!
In 2017, a few professionals in Coffs Harbor, Australia decided to do something different. Instead of just connecting on LinkedIn, they met in person! That simple idea spread quickly to more than 100 countries!
LinkedIn Local Columbus is a space where people come together in a way that feels comfortable, genuine, and fun. It’s not about transactions. It’s about trust. It’s not about collecting business cards. It’s about building real relationships.
You’ve built your network. You’ve added connections, commented on posts, and shared your story. But how many of your LinkedIn connections do you truly know?
And how many of them really know you?
For most professionals, the answer is not enough.
We get busy. We scroll, like, and message, but rarely make time to meet the people who could change everything.
That’s why LinkedIn Local Columbus exists.
It’s one evening to turn your online connections into real relationships that build community, collaboration, and results.
