Join Better Business Bureau (BBB) & the Sales, Marketing & Entrepreneurs of Victoria (SME) at the Connect Us - Networking with Purpose event.
The purpose of this event is to provide a space and opportunity for rising entrepreneurs (young start-up businesses) to meet, connect with and learn from experienced business leaders in the community.
Our focus at BBB & SME is to help businesses be better. We are hoping this event provides an opportunity for young businesses to make strong connections, find mentors, and learn about the variety of resources available to them. We plan to fill the room half with rising entrepreneurs and half with experienced business leaders. We want to create a unique space for aspiring entrepreneurs to meet face-to-face with some of the smartest and most successful businesspeople in Victoria.
Connect Us - Networking with Purpose will also showcase 5 rising entrepreneurs, (pre-selected by a panel of judges) who will each get 90 seconds to talk about their innovative product and their company’s need for mentorship, recognition, networking, and feedback from within the local business community.
Join us and check out the beautiful, spacious open lounges and scenic views @Spaces in Uptown, Victoria. While mingling and networking, attendees will enjoy a delicious selection of appetizers provided by local restaurants and a cash bar (all proceeds for charity).
Tickets are by donation. Recommended $10 donation. All proceeds to charity.
