Phoenix Networking Events This Week — October 12, 2026

Here is a list of events happening in Phoenix this week for entrepreneurs, marketers, and small business owners who prefer to meet face to face. All times are Arizona time (MST).

Premier Business Event in Arizona: Eliances ROUNDtable

When: Tuesday, October 13, 8:30–10:30 AM Where: Mac 6, 1438 W Broadway Rd, Tempe, AZ Cost: Check the listing Link: Event page

This weekly gathering bills itself as a community rather than a typical networking group. Its 3G Method (Got, Give, Get) gives every attendee 60 seconds to share what they need and what they can offer, which keeps the room moving and the conversations useful. It is a strong pick for founders who want collaboration over card swapping, and the registration is aimed at newcomers.

The B.E.S.T. Tuesday Networking

When: Tuesday, October 13, 11:30 AM–12:30 PM Where: La Famiglia Pizza & Pasta, 1859 W Guadalupe Rd, Mesa, AZ Cost: Check the listing Link: Event page

The Business Edge & Strategic Targeting group runs an exclusive lunchtime referral meeting limited to one business per profession. The agenda includes a business tip, quick 30–60 second introductions, a member spotlight, and "Quick Boosts" for referrals and testimonials. Visitors can attend once before applying, so confirm your category is open with the organizer before you RSVP.

Coffee, Co-working & Collab at HeatSync Labs

When: Wednesday, October 14, 9:00 AM–3:00 PM Where: HeatSync Labs, 108 W Main St, Mesa, AZ Cost: Free Link: Event page

A relaxed weekly drop-in at a nonprofit hackerspace, with coffee, monitors, and open desk space. Work on your own projects, meet other independents and creators, and stick around for the optional social at a nearby brewery starting at 3 PM. It is a low-pressure way to build familiarity with local makers and freelancers.

Agentic Growth (Ship AI)

When: Wednesday, October 14, 5:30–7:00 PM Where: 2390 E Camelback Rd, #130, Phoenix, AZ Cost: Free Link: Event page

Hosted by Santos Hernandez and sponsored by Workuity, this session shows how to build a repeatable system for content, distribution, and paid growth. Topics include content automation, social distribution, paid acquisition, and the numbers behind CAC, LTV, and pricing. Marketers and social media managers will leave with practical frameworks and a room full of like-minded builders.

ICON TV: Watch Us Film + Free Rooftop Networking for Women in Business

When: Thursday, October 15, 3:00–5:00 PM Where: Glendale, AZ (exact location emailed to registrants) Cost: Free, RSVP required Link: Event page
