For over 20 years, Professional Connector has produced 500+ high-impact networking events, business mixers, and conferences, primarily across the San Francisco Bay Area. We’ve also hosted events in Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Portland, and New York City, bringing professionals together across major business hubs.
Our audience is large and engaged: our email newsletter has reached up to 35,000 subscribers, with an active list of 10,000+ professionals today. We manage 18+ Meetup groups with a combined 30,000+ members, maintain 25,000+ LinkedIn connections, and have delivered 300+ legal and business workshops. Collectively, our promotions and events have generated 15+ million impressions.
In addition to producing our own events, we work with organizations, brands, and venues to design and execute powerful experiences—whether it’s a recruiting event, grand opening, product launch, VIP mixer, accelerator, workshop, or conference. Whether you’re looking to attract attention, engage a professional audience, or elevate your brand, we know how to make it happen—and make it memorable.
In fact, our founder, David Mitroff, Ph.D., wrote the book The Event Effect on how to leverage events to build credibility, grow a brand, and drive real results.
