      <title>BLOC Speed Networking (16 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Aptos, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.businessleadersofcharlotte.com/resources/Pictures/Business%20Leaders%20of%20Charlotte%20Flyer-Speed%20Networking%20.png" alt="" title="" border="7" align="left" style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" width="283.5" height="367"&gt;Real connections &amp;gt; awkward small talk.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="inherit" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Aptos, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;BLOC Speed Networking&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;is happening&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Aptos, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;Wednesday, September 16th&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;at&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Aptos, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;Heist Brewery NoDa&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="inherit" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Skip the stiff mixers and business-card shuffle. This is speed networking done right with structured rounds that actually get you talking to people worth knowing, in a room built for it (not against it).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424" face="Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Segoe UI Emoji, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont"&gt;✨&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="inherit"&gt;What to expect:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;A rotation system so you meet a full room, not just the folks near the bar&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Table Talk Cards to skip the "so, what do you do" small talk&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Passport Stamp Cards to track who you connect with&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Great time, better conversations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="inherit" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;Whether you're building your business, growing your network, or just tired of networking events that don't actually work — this one's for you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#242424"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Pre-register to save!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;️&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
