Monthly 100% networking event — making and receiving referrals with like-minded businesses in Oakland

B2B Mixer Oakland — 100% Networking. Real Conversations. Real Referrals.

A monthly 100% networking event for making and receiving referrals with like-minded businesses in Oakland.

No speakers. No slide decks. No sitting in rows for an hour before you get to talk to anyone. Just focused conversation with business owners who are actively looking to refer work — and to be referred.

Why B2B Mixer is different

Most networking events are a small amount of networking wrapped in a lot of everything else. We cut the everything else. The whole session is the networking — meeting the people most likely to send business your way, and working out who you can send business to.

What you'll walk away with

• Introductions to business owners and decision-makers across Oakland who are actively building referral relationships
• A clear idea of who in the room can refer you — and who you can refer
• A handful of genuine follow-ups, rather than a stack of cards that never get used
• The kind of long-term relationships that keep sending work back to you

Who comes

Business owners | Directors | Consultants | Freelancers | Sales professionals | Service providers | Anyone whose business grows on referrals

How it works

Arrive, get a drink at the bar, and start talking. It is relaxed, structured enough that nobody ends up stranded in a corner, and pointed entirely at connecting the right people to each other.

Your ticket is free — we simply ask that you buy a drink at the bar.

Where: Sobre Mesa, 1618 Franklin Street, Oakland, CA, 94612

Bring: Your business cards, and a clear idea of the referral you are looking for

About the venue

A Latin American cocktail bar and small-plates restaurant rated 4.5 from around 490 reviews, mid-priced. It is closed on Mondays and opens 5pm to 11pm Tuesday to Thursday. Reviewers praise the cocktails and atmosphere, with a DJ on some nights, while opinions on the food are more mixed.

Getting there

19th Street Oakland BART is a four-minute walk and 12th Street / Oakland City Center five, putting the venue around fifteen minutes from San Francisco by train. Given BART's reach and downtown Oakland parking costs, the train is the easier arrival.

Doors from 5pm. Come early, stay as long as it is useful.
