Meet people in a relaxed setting
Sundowners replaces the formality of a boardroom with the warmth of a member venue. Conversations flow more naturally over a drink, making it easier to build genuine local connections.
After-hours networking
Sundowners
Unwind, connect and build real business relationships at the end of the week. JBA Sundowners are relaxed after-hours gatherings at member venues across Joondalup — where networking feels less like work and more like community.
Why attend
What Sundowners can do for your business
Sundowners is where the Joondalup business community comes together to relax, share stories and create the connections that lead to real opportunities.
Strengthen existing relationships
Not every valuable contact is someone new. Sundowners is where you catch up with members you have already met, deepen trust and turn acquaintances into active referrers.
Create referral opportunities
When business owners relax together, they talk openly about what they need and who they know. That is where referrals, partnerships and collaborations are born.
A great way to end the week
Held after hours at welcoming member venues, Sundowners fits around a full working day. Show up when you can, leave when you need to — there is no rigid agenda.
Build community trust
Regular attendance shows you are part of the JBA community. Visibility and consistency make you the person others think of when an opportunity comes up.
Low pressure, high energy
There are no speeches or forced introductions. The atmosphere is social, the crowd is welcoming and the networking happens naturally from the first conversation.

How to make the most of every Sundowners
The best Sundowners experiences come from showing up consistently, listening well and following up with intention. Here is how to turn an after-hours drink into lasting business value.
1
Arrive with an open mind
Sundowners is as much about reconnecting as meeting new people. Bring a friendly attitude, be ready to introduce yourself and let the room guide the conversation.
2
Have a few conversation starters ready
Ask what someone has been working on, what they are proud of this quarter or what kind of help would make a difference to their business. People remember those who show genuine interest.
3
Follow up within a few days
A quick LinkedIn connection, email or coffee catch-up keeps the relationship warm. The best Sundowners outcomes happen in the days after the event, not during it.
4
Invite a colleague or guest
Sundowners is a great way to introduce team members or prospects to the JBA community. Check the event details for guest policies and bring someone who would benefit from the network.
What to expect
- Arrive at a member venue, grab a drink and join the room.
- Mix with regular members, new faces and invited guests in a social setting.
- A brief welcome and any announcements, then open conversation for the evening.
- Leave with stronger relationships, follow-up actions and a renewed presence in the local network.
