Event description

* Last minute venue change: We are now meeting at The Spot in downtown Campbell. 201 Orchard City Dr, Campbell, Ca 95008. Cross streets are 1st street and Orchard City. Across from the Campbell Water Tower. **

* Please bring $5.00 for pizza. Their kitchen is not open yet, so everyone will need to pitch in $5.00 upon entry...even if you do not plan on eating pizza the donations is required.*

* If this goes well, we will have the Feb meeting there and their kitchen will be open by Valentine's Day. So by Feb. 23rd meeting should be ready to go for Cash and Carry food and drinks. ***

Speed Networking and free! :) Jan. 19th.

2 rounds of speed networking and lots of informal networking / meet & greet in the bar before and after.

Bring about 30- 40 business cards, brochures and other special offers for your Biznik friends.

Left at Alburquerque has a fabulous patio that is enclosed with heaters. If we are a large group, we can meet on the patio. If we have a small group, we can meet in the bar and have a drink.

I will facilitate a SPEED NETWORKING round or two, so bring lots of business cards, brochures or fliers/offers to give everyone at the event.

Questions? Call me. 408-826-9087

My name is Chrystal and I own several small businesses in San Jose. I love to NETWORK and belong to several local networking groups. I think that there is huge opportunity here to create a fabulous BIZNIK network and meet on a regular business to get to know each other and help each other.

The best business is personal business, right? It's easier to refer business to each other and help each other if we get to know each other.

Be sure to bring lots of business cards and a SPECIAL offer to give to your Biznik Buddies. Please be on time so we can get in two rounds of Speed Networking (1 minute to tell us who you are and ask for what you need).

Blissfully, Chrystal email: BlissConnection@Gmail.com www.BlissConnection.com

All businesses welcome. Let's be sure we all become NETWORK BIZNIK friends, too, before hand so we can get to know each other a bit.

All Bay Area Biznikkers are welcome - but lets meet in the South Bay and see what happens.

Thanks everyone. We had 40 of us tonight!

Be sure to RSVP for the next event on Feb. 16th. (I will change the title. The event is the 16th not the 23rd as it says in the title.

We will go back to that same location but upstairs next time to avoid the karaoke set up.

Thanks Janet for your talk.

Next meet I will see if we can get Adam to talk about Twitter!

Great group. Very nice and spacious location Chrystal. I will indeed see you next time.
Posted by LISA MESSINA, PALO ALTO, California | Jan 21, 2009

Thanks Chrystal for the great event. I met a lot of new connections and will be looking forward to the February event. My only positive feedback would be to start with the speed networking earlier so that we have time to talk with some of the people we connected with during speed networking.
Posted by Amy Rodriguez, Santa Clara, California | Jan 22, 2009

Thanks Chrystal for a great forum to meet a lot of great people! I really appreciated you keeping the focus on developing relationships and on figuring out how we could help other people. I've never done speed networking before but I thought it was great and will definitely show in up February for more.
