AM/PM Business Connection

AM/PM Business Connection offers "speed networking" -- the ability to reach many people in a short amount of time. The program presents an opportunity for business owners to polish their presentation and marketing skills while expanding their contacts.

Seated in rounds of seven, each participant has two minutes to deliver the message of his or her company. After the last person at the table has spoken, everyone will rotate to another table and have a chance to talk to six new people. The goal is for each person to talk with everyone in the room with as few repetitions as possible.

  • Thursday, July 9 (AM Business Connection)
  • Thursday, Sept. 10 (PM Business Connection)
