Albuquerque Networking—Curated, Not Crowded

Meet in the 505 is designed for professionals who want meaningful connections, not transactional networking.

This is not:

  • A referral club

  • A pitch night

  • A high-pressure sales environment

Instead, Meet in the 505 offers a curated networking experience for Albuquerque creatives, technologists, founders, and business leaders who value collaboration and craft.

Who Attends Meet in the 505

  • The room is intentionally mixed, which is what makes it work. You’ll meet people who are actively building, hiring, buying, and collaborating across Albuquerque’s creative and tech ecosystem.

    You’ll typically see:

    • Business owners and decision-makers looking for strong creative or technical partners

    • Creative professionals working in video, design, animation, VFX, and storytelling

    • Technologists and builders working in software, product, or emerging tech

    • Founders and operators shaping what’s next in the 505

    Attendance is limited so the experience stays personal, focused, and genuinely useful.

  • Each Meet in the 505 event follows a simple, intentional format. There’s a short welcome to set the tone, followed by plenty of time for real conversation.

    There’s no open-floor pitching and no awkward icebreakers. You’re free to move around, meet people naturally, and spend time where it feels valuable.

    Most people leave having made a few solid connections—and with a clearer sense of who’s doing interesting work around town.

  • Meet in the 505 is designed to be useful, not crowded. We keep the room balanced and the energy professional without feeling stiff or sales-driven.

    That means:

    • Attendance is capped to protect conversation quality

    • We aim for a healthy mix of creatives, technologists, and decision-makers

    • No MLM vibes, no aggressive selling, and no pitch-circle energy

    The goal is simple: create a room people actually want to come back to.
