Scheduled Mixers and Forums
The Culver City Chamber of Commerce runs monthly Off The Clock Mixer after-hours networking events, with the next one listed for January 8, 2026, at no cost for members and $10 for non-members. The Culver City Biz Business Social Forum provides another free option for West LA small businesses, where participants bring business cards and deliver a short pitch.
City-Supported Series
The City of Culver City's Office of Economic and Cultural Development organizes the Vibes After 5 series, which includes non-alcoholic beverages, DJ music, and lawn games at Town Plaza to encourage mid-week community unwinding. These programs reflect decisions by local groups to maintain regular contact points for businesses operating in the area.
Annual Expo Record
The Culver City Business Expo took place on July 30, 2025, as the city's largest annual networking event, with vendors, entertainment, and free public admission. Organizers continue to reference such past events when planning current calendars that keep small businesses linked to resources and each other.
Business associations in Culver City have chosen recurring dates and formats that fit work schedules and budgets. The mix of paid and free tiers, along with requirements like short pitches, shows how groups adjust details to draw different participants without adding barriers. Town Plaza serves as a consistent location for the Vibes After 5 series, keeping events accessible within the city center.
Participants can check the Culver City Downtown Business Association site for updates on the August 19 tasting tour or the Chamber of Commerce listings for mixer details. The Office of Economic and Cultural Development page outlines the Vibes After 5 schedule, while Eventbrite listings cover the Business Social Forum format.
