Tucson Business Connection has been offering Tucson Area Business People a monthly opportunity to network with
each other in a social environment without having to belong to a membership organization since 2003. Still today, there
are no dues, fees or association affiliations required to attend one of our mixers. Most mixers have an average of 75
attendees. TBC is not a membership organization. Any Business person is welcome to attend. In addition to the free
monthly mixers, we hold occasional events for Charity where there might be a nominal fee to attend. Currently, TBC is
hosted by Will Arnold of FixMyBadHomeLoan.org, and Wayne Weld of SendOutCards.com/LTD. Regular Monthly
Mixers are held from 5:00pm-7:30pm on the 1st Wednesday of every month at Pearl, 445 W. Wetmore Rd., on the
South West corner, behind the CVS Pharmacy.
Tucson Business Connection was the 1st of it's kind in Tucson. There are many other networking opportunities that are
held monthly in Tucson, but TBC Events remain the most popular and productive Independent Mixer. Our Social
Networking sites offer our Group Attendees to post information about their company. On our Resources page, we offer
the opportunity for Businesses to have a link to their website. FOR FREE! While we have sponsorship opportunities,
our Members will never be asked to "Upgrade to a Premium Membership". Our regular events as well as our business
listings have always been and will always be Free. In the future, TBC will be starting an East Side Event as well as
Networking Groups.
