    Networking Groups in Minneapolis

    Bridge Network Club is a small, in-person business networking group serving Minneapolis, Bloomington, Edina, Eden Prairie, Richfield, Minnetonka, and the wider Twin Cities. We meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month, 9:00–10:30 AM CT, with one professional per industry.

    Why a smaller Minneapolis networking group works

    Most networking groups in Minneapolis fall into two camps: huge weekly chapters with strict attendance rules, or loose monthly mixers where you trade business cards and hope. Bridge sits in between — small enough that everyone in the room knows your name, structured enough that referrals actually happen.

    Who attends

    Members are owners and senior professionals from across the Twin Cities — Bloomington, Edina, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Richfield, Minneapolis, and St Paul. We hold one seat per industry, so you'll never compete for attention against a direct competitor.

    We meet at 7801 E Bush Lake Rd in Bloomington, MN, just minutes from south Minneapolis, Edina, and the MSP airport. Meetings are in-person on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month from 9:00 to 10:30 AM Central Time.

    Reserve a guest seat from our guest registration page. Your first visit is free, and you can attend up to two meetings before deciding whether to apply for membership.
