OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | NO REFUNDS
Our Professional Interchange events have evolved into vibrant gatherings where business professionals come together not to sell, but to inspire, share ideas, and build authentic relationships. We cultivate a culture which fosters meaningful connections where business happens organically.
This event is open to the public not for transactional purposes, but to offer guests the opportunity to experience the culture of our organization and learn more about the Greater River North Business Association and the many benefits it provides to the business community.
IMPORTANT. PLEASE NOTE: Proper attire is required. GRNBA enforces business attire or a smart casual dress code. This standard applies to all of our Professional Interchange events to ensure we reflect the professionalism of our members and the venues that graciously host us.
- For men: A collared shirt and dress pants are recommended. A collared shirt, chinos, dress jeans or a button-down shirt are appropriate. Please avoid sleeveless shirts, ripped jeans, hats, beanies or ball caps, beachwear, jerseys and gym or athletic apparel
- For women: Business wear or dressy casual attire is most comfortable. A nice blouse with a dressy skirt or pants, dress jeans, or a dress would be suitable. Please avoid excessively revealing clothing, tank tops, ripped jeans, beachwear, gym attire or athletic apparel
- General advice: opt for smart casual or business attire to be safe. It is better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed.
Admittance to our professional interchange events is at the discretion of the GRNBA staff, who reserves the right to refuse admittance to guests or members who are inappropriately dressed regardless of registration
