Introducing Third Thursdays

You already share a building. Now share the room.

Some of the best opportunities are sitting three doors down and you've never met them. Third Thursdays changes that. On the third Thursday of every month, we're opening up Regus Lake Forest for an evening built around one thing: connecting the people who already work here.

It's relaxed and it's genuinely useful. Grab a drink, meet the business next door, trade a referral, find your next collaborator or client. Each month a different member business steps up as sponsor and shares something worth knowing, so you leave with a new contact and a new idea.

This is your community. Third Thursdays is where it gets to know itself.

Why show up

An hour of easy conversation that actually pays off.

No name tags and forced small talk. Just the people down the hall, a drink in hand, and reasons to keep coming back.

Meet your neighbors

Put faces to the businesses you pass every day. The person two offices over might be your next vendor, partner, or biggest fan.

Trade referrals

The warmest lead is one from someone who already knows your work. Give a few, get a few, and watch your pipeline grow sideways.

Learn something useful

Each month's sponsor shares a real, practical talk. Thirty focused minutes you can put to work the very next morning.

Low pressure, high value

Come for twenty minutes or stay the whole evening. Drinks and appetizers are on us, and there's nothing to buy.

Build real relationships

Because it's monthly, you see the same faces again and again. That's how a hallway hello turns into a working relationship.

Grow your visibility

Want the spotlight? Sponsor a future Third Thursday and put your business in front of the whole building for a night.

This month's talk · 6:00 PM in the boardroom

AI for Networking & Sales.

You met someone great. Then the follow-up never happened. It's the gap where most deals quietly die: 44% of salespeople give up after one follow-up, while 60% of people want to hear back within 24 hours. In 30 focused minutes, Jesse Weiler shows how AI closes that gap, turning conversations from tonight into real next steps.

Turn a business card into a personal follow-up email, in your voice, in about 90 seconds
Spin up a pre-meeting brief and a branded one-page leave-behind from a single AI workflow
Design your own AI "close the deal" assistant for whatever your next step looks like

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Is it really free?

Completely. Drinks and appetizers are covered by this month's sponsor, Suite 25. Nothing to buy, nothing to pitch.

Do I have to stay the whole time?

Not at all. Drop in for twenty minutes or stay through last call. Come and go as your evening allows.

Is the talk a sales pitch?

No. It's 30 practical minutes on AI for networking and sales that you can put to work the next morning. Come for the ideas, not the ask.

Can I bring someone?

Yes. Guests are welcome, whether or not they're a Regus client. Good people bring good people.
