Lux Networking

Where Relationships Become Results

Lux Networking is a curated community for entrepreneurs, executives, and business professionals across Naples and Fort Myers who value depth over volume. We bring together one trusted voice per industry to build meaningful relationships that translate into referrals, collaborations, and lasting growth.

What Is Lux Networking?

Lux Networking is a professional community founded on the belief that business grows fastest when relationships are genuine. Under the leadership of Alicia Farman, our members gather regularly to exchange ideas, refer business with confidence, and build a network they can rely on for years, not just a quarter.

Relationship-Driven, Not Transactional

Every gathering is designed to build genuine trust first. We believe strong business comes from strong relationships, not a stack of business cards.

A Clear Mission

To connect Southwest Florida's most driven professionals in an environment built on integrity, accountability, and mutual support.

A True Community

Members show up for one another beyond the meeting room — celebrating wins, offering counsel, and opening doors within their own networks.

Who It's For

Lux Networking welcomes serious professionals across Naples and Fort Myers who are ready to build a network with substance.

Entrepreneurs & Founders

Business owners ready to invest time and intention into relationships that fuel sustainable growth.

Executives & Decision-Makers

Leaders seeking a strategic circle of peers to exchange perspective, referrals, and industry insight.

Established Business Professionals

Naples and Fort Myers professionals who value a polished, high-caliber room over high-volume mixers.

Rising Professionals

Ambitious individuals looking to expand their visibility and build credibility within a respected community.

What Makes Lux Different

We built Lux Networking as an alternative to transactional, crowded networking groups — a place where quality of connection matters more than quantity of contacts.

The Lux Approach

  • One trusted category leader per industry — never a room of competitors
  • Intimate group sizes that make every relationship meaningful
  • A strategic, curated membership vetted for professionalism and integrity
  • Consistent, structured gatherings built around real collaboration

Typical Networking Groups

  • Oversaturated groups with multiple competitors in the same field
  • Large, impersonal mixers focused on quantity over quality
  • Open membership with little vetting or accountability
  • One-off events with no follow-through or lasting structure
