John Willding Celebrates the 20th Anniversary of ‘Ritz Last Tuesday’ Business Networking Happy Hour in Dallas

Thursday, 27 January 2022 03:00 AM

The veteran mergers and acquisitions attorney is thrilled to mark two full decades of holding a fun, advantageous, and now much-anticipated monthly networking event for local professionals.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / January 27, 2022 / In the early years of the new millennium, mergers and acquisitions attorney John Willding was stricken with inspiration: Why not make networking more accessible and fun for the professionals in his home city of Dallas, Texas? It was with this thought in mind that he created ‘Ritz Last Tuesday,' an informal, interactive function meant to bring together the city's prominent business people over food, drink, and conversation held on the last Tuesday of each month at the Ritz Carlton hotel in downtown Dallas.

"It's hard to believe that it's been two decades since I started the Ritz Last Tuesday," reflects Willding, clearly pleased with the networking event's success. "I just started it up to build my network and bring great people from the Dallas area together. After I had the idea to keep the time and place consistent, it just kind of snowballed in popularity. At this point, several hundred people come together each month. Over the years, I've made lots of friendships and been introduced to myriad business opportunities that I otherwise wouldn't have known about simply by showing up to the Ritz at the appointed time and talking with people. From what the other regular attendees of Ritz Last Tuesday tell me, the same is true for them-virtually across the board."

Asked about the future of his creation, John Willding states that he has no intention of ending the event any time soon, adding that any professional who happens to find themselves near Dallas on the last Tuesday of any given month is welcome to drop by, have some fun, and make some connections.
