Business card exchanges and other B2B industry events can teach us all so much about how today's market really works. Whether you're a decision-maker or an account rep, the root of your success is based on RELATIONSHIPS. From partnerships to strategic alliances to preferred vendorships, it's "who you know" that seems to play the deciding factor when steer opportunities (and deals) your way.

Networking events (aka Business Card Exchanges, Meet & Greets or "Schmoozefests") are usually produced & sponsored by one or more industry organization or a private business. They tend to take place in easily-accessible social settings (bars, restaurants, clubs, halls etc) before or after work hours. For a business related activity, you can have the most fun exchanging business cards with new faces while BREAKING THE ICE of annonymity. This is a safe and rejection-free atmosphere that lets you present your business, share what you know and start making new friends... business friends!

As huge proponents of TRUE NETWORKING, many of my clients, associates and I make it our business to attend these NETevents regularly. We are that breed who continually invests in branding our name face-to-face. Over the years, we've created some of the most lucrative joint ventures, lead-sharing ops and earned great referrals with astonishing returns. We're convinced of the belief that "only together can we truly thrive"

Originally published over a private section of the web to merge our friends' event schedules, we've assembled this TOTALLY FREE public site to support B2B connections through an easy-access central forum. It (aims to be) informational and current to anyone who wants to know the next exciting NETevent in your area. The calendars and links pages provide FREE listing and exposure to any business organization or industry group. In all, this site supports the spirit of continued B2B affiliations.

As much as all events have great potential benefits for all attendees, we take no responsibility to the turnout of any events. We affiliated or sponsored by any specific business organization. If there is any selfish reason whatsoever for doing all this work for your convenience - it's only with the hopes of getting you out of your office so we could meet you in one of these events someday!

Welcome to our NETWORKING EVENTS CALENDAR SITE.

Let's connect.
