What is a Connection Expo?
The whole community, in one room
A Connection Expo is a simple way to connect people with the groups, organizations and activities that make a community thrive.
By bringing many organizations together in one place, it makes it easy to discover opportunities, meet organizers, ask questions and even try activities. Instead of searching online or attending event after event, you can explore everything at once.
Make friends
Clubs help people make friends.
Find purpose
Volunteering builds purpose.
Belong
Hobby and identity-based groups create spaces where people can connect, learn and belong.

What people are saying
“Clubs I had never heard of”
Thank you very much for putting it together! I’ve been in the area for 15 years and generally “in the know” of community groups and events, and there were multiple clubs I had never heard of that I was excited about.
Everyone was just excited to be there. Congrats on a great event!
I really enjoyed this! Lovely variety of groups, individuals, commercial and non-commercial. I found a couple of groups that I will be pursuing.
