Networking Events

Here are the events I typically choose from when planning my week:

Note: I personally usually attend between 4-8 business networking events a week. The events listed below are just some venues that I am a regular at. I encourage you to attend as many events as time allows in your schedule. Check out Chambers of Commerce Events and other Business Networking Organizations functions as well.
