Networking & Social Events

The Conway Center hosts a variety of enjoyable social gatherings throughout the year that help members cultivate meaningful connections. These informal settings often spark some of the most productive experiences, creating space for relationship building, idea sharing, and the emergence of new opportunities.

FAMILY BUSINESS SHOWCASE

The Conway Center connects family business members through engaging events that build relationships and promote a strong sense of community. A member favorite, the Family Business Showcase, offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how local family businesses have grown and succeeded. Experience business firsthand through tours, conversation, and informal networking while exploring their success stories, operational strategies, and future goals in an open, interactive format.

🎹On Thursday, February 12, 2026, Rebecca Hurd, Partner & CEO of Graves Piano provided an inside look at its journey of over 65 years as Central Ohio's beloved hub for piano lovers and musicians, and as the area's exclusive Steinway & Son's dealer.

Rebecca was an amazing host, taking us behind the scenes into the fascinating world of pianos. We got to see how a single piano key works (so much more complex than you'd think!), experience the incredible STEINWAY SPIRIO - a next-generation player piano that brings live performances to life - and enjoy a beautiful live performance by Rebecca’s talented nephew showcasing the power of both family and music in business. Thank you to everyone who came out - it was such a special evening! ♥️


Mark your calendars for our next Family Business Showcase at CityScapes on April 9, 2026. Details will be posted soon!
