Porta, famously known for their iconic Asbury Park location, has expanded into Montclair—and it’s already the talk of North Jersey.

Their Montclair venue brings:

• A warm but modern aesthetic

• Incredible hospitality

• A perfect layout for any occasion

We couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop for our comeback event.

A Homecoming for the North Jersey Community

It’s been over a year since our last networking event—and this night is a reminder to us why exactly why these spaces matter.

Babes in Business is built on Genuine connection, Women supporting women, Local entrepreneurship, Professionalism, and a Creative community.

This event is marked to be the beginning of an exciting new chapter for North Jersey.

We’re back. We’re growing. And we can’t wait to build this year with you!
