Networking Night at Connect St. Pete is an ongoing community networking event designed to bring together entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, business owners, and community leaders in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
These nights are about building meaningful relationships, discovering new opportunities, sharing ideas, and getting connected with people who are actively involved in the St. Pete community.
Each event features open networking, community conversations, and occasional interactive activities designed to help attendees leave with real connections and tangible value.
Coffee @ Connect is our weekly community gathering held every Tuesday morning from 8:00–9:00 AM here at Connect St. Pete.
We created this morning ritual to facilitate intentional connection before the workday begins, bringing together entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, community leaders, and local residents for casual conversation, networking, and community building over coffee.
This is a perfectly casual event if you’re looking to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, share what you’re working on, or simply start your morning around positive energy.
Coaching @ Connect is an ongoing coaching session designed to give members of Connect St. Pete consistent access to real-world business and marketing guidance.
Led by CoFounders Josh Naaman and Eric Nutting, each session creates space for strategic thinking, practical problem-solving, and honest conversation around growth.
Members can bring current challenges, ideas, or opportunities and receive direct feedback, coaching, and perspective from experienced operators who actively work with businesses, leaders, and organizations across the region.
Sessions are collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real experience. Topics may include business strategy, marketing clarity, leadership development, positioning, systems, and next-step planning.
This is a core benefit for Connect St. Pete members and reflects our commitment to helping people grow, not just gather.
*Non-members are welcome to attend for $50.

Josh and Eric started a leadership organization called Sun Leaders in October 2023 because they believed leadership development should be for everyone and collaboration opportunities should be easily accessible.
But as it grew, they realized something was missing…
They didn’t have a true home. Bouncing around to different spaces, it became clear that if they wanted to keep elevating leaders, they needed a place built for it. That’s where the idea for Connect St. Pete was born.
They didn’t want just another co-working space. We wanted a living, breathing community hub where leaders, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals could work, learn, and grow together.
So for $100 a month, members not only get a desk, they get access to weekly events, workshops, and a built-in network of people who genuinely want to elevate each other.
Connect St. Pete is our answer to a simple question: what happens when you give a city full of ambitious people one place to connect and grow? We think the answer is going to change a lot more than just our calendars.
