ECDC Presents: Ridgefield Connect: Brewing up a Business

Join us for the inaugural Ridgefield Connect: Brewing up a Business

The Ridgefield ECDC (Economic & Community Development Commission) and the Ridgefield Library are hosting the first networking event for working professionals at Nod Hill Brewery at 5:30PM on Wednesday, May 28. Ridgefield Connect will be held quarterly, rotate around town, and center around an engaging speaker or business. 

Post-pandemic, many people now work from home multiple days a week and may not be able to network with colleagues as they did in the past. These events – for all working professionals but targeted at remote workers specifically -- offer the opportunity to get out of the house and meet peers and colleagues while listening to an interesting speaker about topics that may not be mainstream or what you would hear in corporate settings.

The Nod Hill brewmasters and owners will share their unique insights into the business, from how they got started to their brewing process, recipe selection, and even how they come up with the names for their beers. It’s all Made in Ridgefield!

So please join us for this inaugural event organized by the ECDC, which brings you Tiger-Shark Tank every fall! Also, if you have ideas for future interesting, unique speakers, we would love to hear from you. 

When:  5:30 – 7:30 PM on Wednesday, May 28, 2025 at Nod Hill Brewery

· 5:30-:600PM – networking

· 6:00-7:00PM – intro by ECDC and talk by Brewmasters
