Networking & Social Events

The Conway Center offers several enjoyable social interactions throughout the year that allow members to build strong relationships. We believe that some of the most productive experiences are created in less formal group settings where relationships can be built, ideas shared, and new opportunities hatched.

GOLF OUTING

Our 11th annual Golf Outing was held at the Golf Club of Dublin on Tuesday, July 25, 2025. Despite the blazing temperatures, it was a tremendous success - bringing together Conway Center members and business partners for a day of camaraderie, friendly competition, and plenty of sunscreen! The heat was no match for the enthusiasm of the 115 golfers, who later relaxed and enjoyed a buffet reception with raffles and prizes.

THANK YOU to all the players, sponsors, supporters, and volunteers. Mark your calendar for next year as we return to the Golf Club of Dublin on June 22, 2026!

FAMILY BUSINESS SHOWCASE

The Conway Center hosts a variety of events to bring members together and build stronger connections between current and prospective members. A favorite event is the Family Business Showcase. Every year, family businesses host this event to share what has made their business successful, how they operate, and what their plans are for the future.

On May 8, 2025, The Cleary Company hosted our Family Business Showcase in celebration of more than 30 years of design-build remodeling in Central Ohio.

Those attending enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and drinks while touring the beautiful indoor/outdoor space. Founder George Cleary and son George Cleary II were gracious hosts to the family business members and community leaders who attended.

A full list of upcoming social and networking events can be found on the Upcoming Events tab.
