Innovative
Business Networking
NORTH SHORE'S PREMIER BUSINESS NETWORKING GROUP
We’re a trusted group of local professionals committed to building real connections, growing our businesses, and giving back to the community.
Innovative Business Networking (IBN) was founded over a decade ago by a small group of forward-thinking entrepreneurs who saw the need for a more dynamic, results-driven approach to local business networking. What began with just three members has grown into a thriving community of over twenty professionals, all dedicated to business growth, professional development, and community impact across the North Shore of Massachusetts—including Danvers, Peabody, Beverly, Newburyport, and surrounding areas.
IBN is proud to be an active member of the Beverly Chamber of Commerce, a collaborator with North Shore Community College, and a supporter of local charities such as Grateful Friends. Our commitment to giving back and staying deeply engaged with the local community is part of what sets us apart from traditional networking groups.
To further strengthen member connections and foster a sense of community, IBN also hosts annual social events, including a holiday celebration and a summer gathering—often a boat cruise along the North Shore.
Interested in visiting a meeting? We meet every Thursday at 7:30 AM at Danvers Indoor Sports. Prospective members are welcome by request—contact us to learn more and request an invite.
