A Night of Connection at the Social Networking Pop-Up in Las Vegas

Last night, Taverna Costera in Las Vegas buzzed with energy as business owners, entrepreneurs, and community members from the WC Network gathered for a unique social networking pop-up event. Hosted by WRLDCLSS Events, the evening provided an incredible opportunity for meaningful connections, inspiring conversations, and, of course, enjoying some fantastic food. For those who thrive on connecting with like-minded individuals, this event was the perfect way to build relationships and share ideas.

The Event: Inspiring Speakers and Genuine Connections Through Intentional Networking

The evening began with a powerful introduction from Keenan Bathan, known as "The Network King," who leads WRLDCLSS Events. Keenan’s vibrant energy set the tone for the night as he shared his entrepreneurial journey, offering perspective and value to the audience. His ability to bring people together and create an environment where authentic connections could flourish was evident from the start. His opening remarks emphasized the importance of community, collaboration, and the power of intentional networking—core values that resonate deeply with the mission at Alter New Media.

Pastor RC Simon served as the master of ceremonies for the night, guiding the discussions with thought-provoking questions. Known for his entrepreneurial spirit and deep faith, Pastor RC delivered an inspiring message that intertwined faith, leadership, and entrepreneurship. His metaphorical speech on tending to one’s spiritual garden to avoid attracting snakes was a powerful reminder that our work should not just be about profit but about making a positive impact in the lives of others. RC’s entrepreneurial journey, deeply rooted in his faith, offered both spiritual and practical guidance, motivating everyone to lead with integrity and purpose. Having believed in Keenan from day one, Pastor RC’s support and presence were integral to the event’s success.

The lineup of speakers was both diverse and engaging:

Ron Woods, a prominent Realtor, shared invaluable insights into the real estate market and the critical role of personal branding in building a successful business. His emphasis on adaptability and staying true to one’s passions, drawn from his experiences in the competitive real estate industry, resonated with many in the room.

Ella Dumo, the owner of Cobalt Clean Las Vegas, recounted her inspiring journey of building a successful cleaning business from the ground up. She candidly shared the challenges she faced as a female entrepreneur in a competitive industry and how she overcame them through hard work, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. Her story provided valuable lessons on perseverance and maintaining high standards in business.

Robert Chhuth, better known as DJ Giga Hurtz and associated with Vitality Plus PR, brought a unique perspective to the event by combining his background in music with his expertise in public relations. He spoke passionately about the importance of creativity and authenticity in one’s work, emphasizing how these qualities can set individuals apart in any industry. His talk particularly resonated with those balancing multiple interests and careers, showcasing the power of blending passion with professionalism. Robert also stressed the importance of building and maintaining a strong PR profile to showcase authority in one's field.

The Food: A Culinary Experience to Remember

As the event transitioned from speeches to socializing, attendees had the chance to indulge in the culinary delights that Taverna Costera had to offer. The Taverna Tapas Platter was a popular choice, described on the menu as a selection of 5-piece lollipop wings with a choice of sauce, beet hummus, pita bread, avocado bruschetta, and fried Brussels sprouts. Here’s a quick rundown of the highlights:

Lollipop Wings: These wings were the star of the platter. Cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—they were served with a choice of sauces, with the spicy option adding just the right amount of heat.

Beet Hummus: This vibrant, earthy hummus was a creamy delight, perfectly complemented by the fresh Pita Bread. The combination was both light and flavorful, providing a refreshing contrast to the richer items on the platter.

Avocado Bruschetta: A refreshing bite, the avocado bruschetta combined ripe avocado with a fresh bruschetta topping, balancing the platter’s flavors beautifully.

Fried Brussels Sprouts: Fried to a perfect crisp, these Brussels sprouts were flavorful and added a satisfying crunch to the platter, contrasting nicely with the softer textures of the hummus and avocado bruschetta.

This platter was the perfect choice for a night like this—each bite was an experience in itself, fueling engaging conversations that filled the evening.

A Night to Remember

As the night progressed, it became clear that this event was more than just another networking opportunity. The speakers brought a wealth of knowledge and inspiration, but what truly made the evening special was the sense of community that developed among the attendees. The event was not just about listening to the speakers; it was about engaging with each other, sharing stories, and finding common ground in their entrepreneurial journeys.

Ultimately, it wasn’t just the food or the venue that made the night memorable—it was the people. Through WRLDCLSS Events, the WC Network successfully brought together individuals who were not only passionate about their businesses but also about making meaningful connections. Events like this are valuable because they remind us of the power of community in both business and life.

Nadya and I left Taverna Costera feeling inspired and grateful for the new connections we made and the old ones we strengthened. The social networking pop-up was a night of great food, genuine conversations, and a reminder of the community's power in business and life. If you ever have the chance to attend a WC Network event, we highly recommend it—you won’t just leave with a stack of business cards; you’ll leave with new friends and a renewed sense of purpose.
