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.

 

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.

Our first scheduled Family Business Showcase this year will be at THREAD on Thursday, February 13, 2025. Founded in 2011 by Miranda Boyle, THREAD is a carefully curated lifestyle boutique that brings a big city mindset to the midwest fashion oasis of Columbus, Ohio. Miranda’s daughter, Hana Boyle, joined the company in 2022.

Hear Miranda's story of how her love of fashion and influences in her life evolved into owning THREAD, and how this family business has expanded, venturing into new sectors because of their growth.

This event is free to Conway Center members and those in our community interested in family business, but please RSVP. Mix and mingle with other family business leaders and enjoy hors d’ oeuvres, beer, wine and N/A beverages, while touring THREAD, THREAD Living, and Gifting by THREAD.
