Meetup in The East – 2 Events

Meetup in The East – Hosted by the SWFL Business Alliance

Meetup in The East takes place every fourth Thursday of the month and offers two opportunities to connect with business professionals across East Lee County and the Greater Fort Myers area. Join us for either the lunchtime or evening session—or both—and build valuable relationships that support local growth and collaboration.

Address: 1241 Taylor Lane Ext #5b, Lehigh Acres, FL 33936
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM

Join us at noon for a business networking lunch at Maggy’s House. This informal setting is ideal for sharing ideas, introducing your business, and building connections with other local professionals. All attendees are encouraged to bring at least 10 business cards.

Evening Meetup
Location: Rum Bucket Bar & Grill
Address: 5150 Buckingham Rd, Fort Myers, FL 33905
