How to Network, Learn & Have Fun in Seattle Business Associations

Biznik is one of the best examples of business community supporting its members, and members supporting Biznik's growth.

If you seek to expand your involvment into business groups and associations around the Seattle area, we'll talk about groups such as MIT Enterprise Forum, Northwest Entrepreneur Network, and many other groups and events where you can build your brand.

Work off of a self-focused basis, where you are thinking about business growth, and then find ways to also impact great organizations (not the other way around).

Avoid volunteer burnout, and diversify to find more rewarding experiences for business owners.

Your facilitator is on the steering committee for NWEN's Entrepreneur University, Co-chair of the Volunteer team with MIT Enterprise Forum, judge for Eastside Business Awards, has started successful user groups (dBUG) and does fundraising auctioneering.

  Unfortunately, I need to cancel. I'm flying out of town to meet with a client. Please let me know when you plan to do this again.

  In attendance will be a couple of other folks heavily involved in business associations around Seattle, so there should be multiple views and ample ideas in the room.
