Networking After 5 | PORT bar-dining room-patio
Tuesday, November 8th, 2016 | 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Cost: $15 Members | $25 Non-Members | $125 Event Sponsorships
At this networking event, attendees will enjoy a combination of informal and formal networking. For the formal portion, networkers are broken into small groups with each person getting the opportunity to briefly introduce themselves and their business before participating in a table discussion facilitated by one of our expert member networkers. Attendees are then moved into another group to begin the process all over again! Our intent is to allow networkers to learn a little more about each other and make some real connections while contributing to meaningful group discussion. Some informal networking time will be provided before and after the formal networking to allow for some one-on-one conversation. Register Today!
