Phoenix Retail & Mixed-Use Summit
Bisnow's Retail & Mixed-Use Summit pulls together developers, owners, investors, retailers, brokers, and city officials shaping the Valley's built environment. If your clients touch commercial real estate, retail, or mixed-use development, this is a room full of decision-makers worth meeting face to face.

August after5 Tech Mixer – Hosted by Axway
The Arizona Technology Council's monthly after5 mixer lands at Axway's Scottsdale office this month, with an evening of drinks, bites, and conversation among Arizona's tech and innovation crowd. Whether you're pitching a product, hiring, or just want to meet the people building Phoenix's tech scene, this is a low-pressure way to do it.
Wed Aug 19 · 5:00–7:00 PM · Axway Inc, 16220 N. Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale · Free for AZTC members / $30 non-members
TFFAW Global Village Wellness, Business, Fashion, Culture & Culinary Expo
This nonprofit-run expo brings wellness professionals, entrepreneurs, designers, and cultural creatives together for a full day of business networking followed by an evening fashion and culinary showcase. It's a great pick for meeting founders and creatives outside the usual chamber-mixer crowd — expect a genuinely global, cross-industry room.

YNPN Speed Networking
Young Nonprofit Professionals Network Phoenix runs a fast-paced speed networking session designed to get attendees in front of a lot of people in a short window. It's aimed at the nonprofit and social-impact sector, but the format is a smart way for any founder or marketer to practice a tight pitch and walk away with a stack of new contacts.
