Sometimes all you need is the right connection and a little inspiration. Well, what are you waiting for? Find both at our free monthly networking event. You never know...
Theme: Networking Bingo is Back!
We all know networking is important, but sometimes walking into a room of people you do not know can be intimidating. We get it, and we want to make it easier by helping facilitate introductions. Toward that end, we are bringing back interactive networking bingo! April's Chance Meetings will give you a “chance” to really get to know the people in the room in a casual and fun format.
What is interactive networking bingo? Think speed-dating meets networking. We will have a handy game board to help you circulate and discover who is in the room. Who has sold a company? Who is looking for a new opportunity? Who is looking for ways to support budding entrepreneurs? We have super cool prizes for networking bingo winners. Don’t miss this opportunity to both network and increase your networking skills with the Silicon Couloir community!

The Cowork Space in downtown Jackson just got even better! We’re excited to introduce a new lounge—a comfortable and casual space where community members can gather, work, or unwind with a good book. This addition was made possible through the generous support of a microgrant from the Jackson Hole Community Foundation. Stop by, settle in, and experience this welcoming new spot designed to foster connection and creativity.
If you're looking for a convenient space to host an after work event, consider renting the lounge. The first hour is free for nonprofits. Click HERE to reserve the space.
