This is an independently organized community watch party and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FIFA.
Some of the best opportunities don’t start in a boardroom.
They start with a conversation.
📸 Throwing it back to one of our BECO networking mixers in 2023. Looking through these photos is a reminder that every event brings together entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, and community leaders who are all looking to build something bigger than themselves.
Some people found new clients.
Some made business partnerships.
Some simply met people who continue to support their journey years later.
You never know which conversation could change the direction of your business.
Now we’re getting ready to do it again.
📍 BECO Summer Networking Mixer
🗓 Friday, July 17 - 6:30pm
📍 The Collective Seattle
If you’ve been thinking about attending your first BECO event, this is your sign.
Who remembers this mixer? Tag someone you see in the photo or someone you want to bring to the next one. 👇

What happens when actor and entrepreneur @omargooding Gooding gets real about business, entertainment, and building a legacy?
You get a room full of entrepreneurs taking notes one minute… and laughing out loud the next.
#throwbacktuesday To one of the standout moments from last year’s BECO Expo at the Columbia Tower Club was this unforgettable conversation between Omar Gooding and @shyanselah .
Omar shared honest insights on navigating the entertainment industry, creating opportunities beyond your career, and thinking bigger than success. He delivered it all with the authenticity, humor, and perspective that have made him a respected voice both on and off the screen.
At BECO, we believe the right conversation can spark a new idea, a new connection, or even a new direction.
This was one of those conversations.
What speaker has impacted the way you think about business or life?
