NSB October 2022 Meet Up

Babes, Booze, & Business at Riverside Terrace

Our Babes, Booze & Business meetup in New Smyrna Beach was nothing short of spectacular, held at the gorgeous Riverside Terrace restaurant in October 2022. Nestled right on the banks of the Halifax River, this stunning venue provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of networking, learning, and, of course, indulging in delicious food and drinks.

With mostly outdoor seating and a cozy atmosphere, Riverside Terrace offered the ideal setting for our group to come together and enjoy the beauty of Florida’s waterfront while connecting with fellow women in business. It was the perfect combination of good vibes, great food, and empowering conversation.

The energy in the room was incredible as attendees connected with each other, exchanged business ideas, and shared their personal stories of success and challenge.
