2026 Networking Events
Coming Up Next
We are excited to invite you to our first networking event on
Thursday, February 26, 2026!
Good Land is hosting us for the luncheon at their brand new location, 510 W Walnut St.
If you are familiar with their previous spot, this one is just a little further West down the street.
What they have is truly unique, beautiful, interesting and eclectic space. Mike Minnix and his team
will be there to tell us all about what they do, so you won’t want to miss it!

The Center City DORA (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area) in
Franklinton Arts District
What is a DORA?
In the State of Ohio, a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area, or DORA, is a specified area of land that a local legislative authority (city council or township trustees) has designated as exempt from certain open container provisions as laid out in Ohio Revised Code Section 4301.82. A DORA allows visitors aged 21 and older to consume an alcoholic beverage purchased from a participating business outdoors within the area’s boundaries, during designated hours, and according to DORA rules.

In April, the City of Columbus introduced a proposal to modernize the zoning on Columbus corridors, updating a code that is over 70 years old and not current with the times.
They created the Zone In Gallery – an interactive space where you can learn all about it.
