What do you do while your kids are at the Bounce House?
Instead of scrolling on your phone, maybe you could network? The kids jump, we connect.
We meet monthly at local play facilities, where children can play and have fun, and parents can network and connect with other business professionals. Our group is designed to be supportive and collaborative – we welcome parents from all industries and backgrounds.
- Connect with like-minded business professional parents who understand the challenges and rewards of balancing work and family life.
- Build meaningful relationships that can help you grow both personally and professionally.
- Have fun and relax in a supportive and collaborative community.
- Learn from other parents and share your own experiences and ideas.
- Expand your network and build your business through referrals and collaborations.
Where is this happening?
Springfield, Illinois. That’s where my family lives. If you want to start one in your area, I’d be willing to put a link here.
Why are you doing this then?
My kids like going to these places, and I get bored when they are playing. I’m going to be there anyway. Seems like an opportunity.
How much does this cost?
However much it costs to get your kids into the facility. This effort is intended to be informal and low-key.
Does participation imply any obligation?
No.
What do I get for participating?
We will let you know where we are meeting.
How do I join?
Fill out the form and we will send you emails each month.
What is Jumpconnect NOT?
It is not a babysitting service. Come out with us and make the most of it, but watch your kids and definitely don’t leave.
What should I bring?
You don’t have to bring anything, but if you are wanting feedback or help on something then maybe:
- Business cards to share your contact information with other parents.
- A notepad or a digital device for taking notes or scheduling follow-up meetings.
- Any promotional material for your business that you would like to share.
- And, of course, don’t forget anything your kids might need to ensure they have a fun and safe time at the play facility.
Can I suggest a Venue or Activity for Future Networking Events?
Absolutely. If you know of a suitable play facility or have an idea for a kid-friendly activity that could accommodate the group, please share it. You can send your suggestions through the contact form here, or bring them up at the next meetup.
