About

Good People. Good Conversations. Great Connections.

The Local Social is local business networking without the stuffiness. It's brought to you by Washington County Restaurant Foodies and Waukesha Eats, and organized by Rick Neuman of Digital Harvest Marketing.

The Local Social brings together business owners, entrepreneurs, decision-makers, and other professionals from Washington County, Waukesha County, and surrounding communities.

Our approach is simple: find a great local venue, bring together interesting people, and let the conversations happen naturally.

Some evenings might include casual networking, while others may feature a little structured interaction to help everyone meet someone new. But the goal is always the same — good people, good conversations, and genuine connections.

No membership fees. No complicated commitments. Just an opportunity to meet people, support local businesses, and enjoy a great evening.
