Business In-Between

Business In-Between is the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce's daytime networking series, designed for professionals, business owners, and community members looking to connect during the workday.

Hosted throughout the year, Business In-Between offers a variety of networking experiences. Some events feature activities, demonstrations, tours, or workshops hosted by local businesses and organizations, while others provide a more casual environment for conversation, relationship-building, and community connection.

Whether you’re looking to expand your network, discover local businesses, or simply connect with others during the day, Business In-Between offers a welcoming and accessible way to engage with Lincoln’s business community.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

What is Business In-Between?

Business In-Between is a daytime networking experience that brings people together through meaningful conversations, community engagement, and local connections.

Unlike traditional networking events that often take place before or after standard work hours, Business In-Between is designed specifically for daytime participation. Events may take many forms—from casual coffee meetups and networking lunches to interactive workshops, wellness experiences, business tours, demonstrations, and other unique opportunities to connect.

Each event offers a different experience, but the goal remains the same: creating opportunities for people to build relationships, strengthen community connections, and engage with local businesses in a welcoming environment.

A Different Approach to Networking

Business In-Between recognizes that networking doesn’t have to look the same every time.

Some events focus on conversation and connection in a relaxed setting, while others incorporate activities or experiences that naturally bring people together. This variety creates opportunities for attendees to engage in ways that feel comfortable, approachable, and enjoyable.

Whether you’re attending to make new business connections, reconnect with familiar faces, or simply spend time with others in the community, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere designed to encourage genuine interaction.
