InsectIQ Is Hosting CABA's After 5 at BayFirst Financial

Wednesday, September 30 | 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM | Tampa, FL

InsectIQ is proud to host this month's Carrollwood Area Business Association (CABA) After 5, a free networking event for local business owners and community members. It's a relaxed way to close out a Wednesday workday, meet other Tampa Bay business owners, and build a few new connections over drinks and light refreshments.

We love supporting the Tampa Bay business community, and events like this are a great excuse to meet the people behind the businesses we see every day. — InsectIQ
