Business relationships blossom when people spend quality time together. That’s why quality time is the central, unique promise of new micro-event series Lobby Bar Live.

Lobby Bar Live connects innovative retailers and leading produce suppliers in a no-pressure, intimate environment designed to foster meaningful conversations. The event includes curated one-on-one meetings plus high-quality networking activities. This approach allows attendees to get to know each other in a relaxed setting and learn about each other’s business challenges and opportunities.

The limited-invite nature of the event means suppliers who attend will have unprecedented time and space to make lasting connections with retailers in attendance. No expo floor means no exhibit expense or time spent building a booth instead of networking with potential customers.

Produce industry veteran Jessie Gunn and her team, who have produced national and regional events, shows and conferences as well as private events, designed the Lobby Bar Live series with intentional connection in mind. Gunn is the co-founder and creative director of dōHi, the organization hosting the event.

“We just know that the best business grows from a finite guest list and that business intimacy leads to authentic friendships, collaboration and true partnership,” Gunn said. “dōHi has found a way to cut away the clutter and reduce the noise to bring the focus back to what matters most: relationships. We’re extracting the best elements from traditional events and combining them with the right people from the best organizations – a perfect recipe for quality time that builds lasting relationships and sustainable event models that can move us all safely and assuredly forward.”
