CHARLOTTE, NC | SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 | 6P-8P

Real talk for small businesses—no stage, no sales pitch.

Brand Camp After Hours is a quarterly meet-up series for Charlotte-area small business owners, marketers, and creative professionals looking to connect without the awkward icebreakers or overwhelming panels.

Each gathering includes a 20-minute talk from a rotating expert in branding, business, or marketing—followed by relaxed, open networking with people who get what it’s like to build something from the ground up.

Whether you’re a team of one, part of a growing company, or supporting other small businesses, this is your space to meet others in the Charlotte community who are doing the same.

What to Expect:

• A welcoming space to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs

• Real-world insights from people walking the walk

• No name tags, no awkward intros, no sales pitches

• Just good conversations and community vibes

Who It’s For:

• Founders, freelancers, and side hustlers

• In-house marketers and brand builders

• Creatives, consultants, and entrepreneurs

• Investors, retailers, buyers, and vendors who support small business growth

Come for the insight. Stay for the people.

Leave with a few new friends and a stronger network.
