See Why Attendees Call us a  "Business Finishing School” |

In February of 2020, Wildfire Business Networking added the ZOOM platform to our In-person format. Our successful format spanning from 1993 to 2020 continues on Zoom, along with monthly in-person events. Additional in-person breakfast, lunch and dinner meetings round off our monthly networking calendar

31 years strong - The Westside’s longest running one-member-per-profession business group |

Weekly meetings draw up to 70 professionals | Our events are a diverse blend of startups and established businesses. Long-time members; Guests eligible for membership; and Visitors inquiring about the organization attend on a weekly basis. Our energy, organization, and genuine commitment will exceed expectations

Our one-member-per-profession format provides the best possible environment to generate referrals |

Visitors |
Attendees in already-represented services, i.e., “Visitors” are asked to observe a few courtesies. Details provided in our Visitor Invite doc | Zoom ID provided after you review and confirm your comfort with our “Visitor Restrictions”

Guests |
Attendees in OPEN professional categories, i.e.,  “Guests,” receive our Guest Invite doc with details and ZOOM ID after their professional category is confirmed. Guests participate in infomercials, promote their service in chat, and may apply for official membership

Tips for Networking on ZOOM |

  • If you’re new to the Zoom platform, maybe setup a practice meeting with colleagues, friends or family. A little practice can’t hurt
  • Camera angle at eye-level, and light source facing you can make a world of difference
  • Earbuds used for music are ideal for audio during ZOOM meetings. You likely own a quality pair already. Bluetooth connect and go!
  • Your built-in mic may be adequate, or upgrade to a plug-in "shotgun" mic (check Amazon)
