Power Networking will return to the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce's First Friday Breakfast on March 2.
This poular round-robin styled event introduces like-minded professionals and helps them make strategic business connections, resulting in expanded opportunities and broadened horizons. There's no speaker to give you time to meet other chamber members and take control of your network-building future.
As attendees arrive, they are assigned to a table where they meet seven new people. Each person gives his or her own 17-second 'commercial.' The table facilitator keeps the conversation going by asking each person questions. Based on the answers, the facilitator recommends participation in one of the Chamber's many committees, and suggests creative referral and partnership pairings among table members.
Following this energetic exchange, each person moves to a different table to meet seven new people. This lively interactive setting gives attendees the chance to meet up to 14 other people, instead of the usual seven.
"Power Networking is at the heart of what the Chamber is all about, getting out there and making connections in the community to build a strong foundation for successful busines," said Bev Jorgensen, the Chamber's vice president of corporate and member relations.
First Friday Breakfast is the Chamber's premiere networking and business promotional event, and one of the most regularly attended monthly programs. The breakfast will be from 7 to 9 a.m. March 2 at the Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach, 6450 Carlsbad Blvd. The cost is $30 for Chamber members who register before Feb. 24. Afterward, the preregistration cost is $50 and $55 at the door. Prospective members must contact Kristina McMahon at 760-931-8400.
Tabletop exhibits or Soapbox presentations are available to promote your business for $70 each, which includes one breakfast, and must be reserved in advance by calling Kathy Steffen at 760-931-8400.
