Collision Coffee: A Work From Downtown Networking Event

Every Second Wednesday at 8:15 am at Selden Market

Harness the power of urban density. Meet new people for free coffee & spark the spontaneous interactions that make working downtown better.

This series is designed to facilitate "collisions"—those happy accidents where neighbors meet business owners, and creatives meet corporate professionals—that only happen in a dense, walkable city center. Expect a casual, open-house atmosphere where the coffee is on us and the only agenda is to connect with the people who make Downtown Norfolk tick. Whether you work in a high-rise, live down the street, or just love the city energy, stop by to fuel up and expand your circle without the pressure of formal networking.
