A weekly networking opportunity dubbed 3 No Networking begins today, June 6 at Oddfellas Pub & Eatery, 102 W. Main St. The series is organized by the Urban Center for Innovative Partnerships (IPZ No. 15 Auburn).

“It’s a wide open forum designed to cultivate interaction and networking opportunities for Auburn businesses and organizations,” said Doug Lein, IPZ Administrator. “It has no agenda, no set purpose and no membership dues, that’s why we call it 3 No Networking.”

“Although it is an informal weekly gathering, it’s a powerful platform that can help form non-traditional business partnerships,” said Mayor Pete Lewis. “You’d be amazed how much business you can do in an informal setting. We hope it will grow organically to be a valuable networking opportunity for all Auburn business sectors.”

The weekly networking time is scheduled for each Thursday of the month from 5-7 p.m. Oddfellas Pub & Eatery will host it on the first Thursday; Auburn Wine and Caviar Company (2402 A St. SE) on the second Thursday; Station Bistro (110 2nd St. SW, Suite 125) on the third Thursday and Zola’s Café (402 E. Main St., Suite 120) on the fourth Thursday.

“If there is a fifth Thursday in the month, we’ll hold a special event planned by either the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce or the Auburn Downtown Association,” Lein said.

3 No Networking is made possible by a partnership between IPZ No. 15 Auburn, the City of Auburn Office of Economic Development, Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce and the Auburn Downtown Association.
