Phoenix Networking Events This Week — October 5, 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. From early-morning roundtables to rooftop happy hours, there is a room worth walking into every day. Times are listed in Arizona time (MST).
Inventors & Startups #1 Community ROUNDtable (Tempe)
This weekly Eliances gathering is built as a relationship-building forum rather than a card-swapping mixer. Entrepreneurs go around the table sharing their "Got, Give, Get," which makes it easy to spot collaborators, referral partners, and potential clients in a single sitting. Attendees often report multiple collaboration leads from one meeting, and first-time guests attend free.
When: Tuesday, October 6, 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM
Where: MAC6 Coworking Space, 1430 W Broadway Rd, Tempe, AZ
Cost: Free for first-time guests

Business Networking and Referral Organization (Phoenix)
A weekly networking lunch hosted by the Three Pillars of Wealth Network Group, where business owners trade qualified referrals. Each attendee delivers a 50-second commercial describing their ideal referral, and the group follows a one-person-per-industry-category model, so marketers, designers, and media pros should check whether their category is open. Non-members can visit twice before applying, and the chapter reports passing $1.5 million in referral business last year.
When: Tuesday, October 6, 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Where: Spinato's Pizzeria and Family Kitchen, 5509 N 7th St, Phoenix, AZ 85014
Cost: $25 at the door (includes lunch)

Open networking starts at 8:15 AM, so arrive early to meet members before the formal hour begins. Bring business cards and be ready to describe your ideal client. Guests may visit twice free before a membership application is required.
When: Wednesday, October 7, 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM
Where: American Title Service Agency, 16150 N. Arrowhead Fountain Center Dr. #160, Peoria, AZ
