Blue Water Wave Sets Standard for Professional Networking & Announces Third Annual “Wave Awards”

Blue Water Wave (BWW) is leading the charge in redefining professional networking throughout New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area. As the business landscape continues to evolve, an increasing number of professionals and companies are turning to Blue Water Wave for strategies to forge meaningful connections that translate into real business results. Since launching in January 2020, BWW has rapidly expanded to include over eight specialized networking groups and five regional chapters—Morris/Essex, New York City, Bergen/Hudson/Passaic, Red Bank, and South Florida as of February 2025. This growth reflects BWW’s commitment to creating tailored, industry- and location-specific networking opportunities for C-suite leaders and business owners.

Through personal invitations, engaging LinkedIn posts, and word-of-mouth referrals, the networking organization welcomes new members each month after careful vetting. The organization has become a magnet for professionals from legal, CPA, commercial real estate, architecture, engineering, environmental, communications & business consultants, AI, and IT sectors, all seeking to participate in a network that values authenticity and actionable opportunities.

“The way we do business has changed and since BWW’s inception, we have always stayed ahead of the curve,” says Bridget Sorenson, CEO & Founder of Blue Water Wave. “Business professionals yearn for the flexibility of virtual networking while having the option to connect in person to cultivate connections that actually lead to business. Each member has one-on-one calls with me weekly to review their business growth goals, so that I can personally connect them to other members with synergy for opportunities. Many of our members have been part of other networking groups and consistently tell us that Blue Water Wave offers a uniquely powerful, highly vetted environment where deals are consistently closed.”

Recent highlights include dynamic happy hours, exclusive golf outings, and thought-provoking panel discussions on AI, cyber security, and LinkedIn optimization. Recently BWW hosted a dynamic nonprofit event at SAX accounting firm, providing a platform for members to discuss current industry trends and connect with key decision-makers.

Upcoming BWW Events:

• BWW Architect, Engineer, and Environmental Summit: Bringing together leading voices to discuss innovation and collaboration hosted by Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC

• Manufacturing Summit (Fall 2025): Featuring insights from one of the legal industry’s top leaders, with a focus on emotional intelligence for attorneys, business owners, and their teams.
