Event description

The Biznik way of networking is a powerful combination of online social networking technology paired with face-to-face events. Learn from co-founders Lara Feltin and Dan McComb how to grow your business faster and become more profitable by using the tools at your disposal.

We'll walk you through the five main areas of the site, elaborate on the features as we designed them, and how to use them:

  • Your Profile: self promotion & visibility on the site
  • Events: hosting & attending
  • Membership: using the directory & your Biznik network
  • Biz Talk: online socializing & discussions
  • Articles & Tips: writing, rating & commenting

This workshop will be focused on questions YOU bring to the table - so come prepared to ask a lot of them.

  • Introductions start at 6:30.
  • Workshop & questions til 8:30.
  • Networking til 9.

What members say about the event

    Just when you think you have Biznik figured out, they add a few more nuggets. I recommend this to anyone who wants to get the most our of their membership. --Bob Dunn
    I was already excited about Biznik and had been spreading the word, but now I'm even more amped up about it. This is an incredible resource you've created and I have no idea why a small business owner would be part of any other networking service (online or in person). You have them all beat, hands down. Thank you!" --Debbie Lacy
    I attended the tutorial about how to plug into all the benefits of Biznik last nite. I highly recommend everyone go to this event in the future. The site is amazing and continues to get better with all the plans you have in the works. It was a good use of my time and I am going to send my mktg partner to the next one. --Bill Hoffer

Parking on Capitol Hill

Office Nomads is on Capitol Hill, not the easiest neighborhood to park in - except for the Seattle Central Community College parking garage that is literally across the street from Office Nomads and costs only $4/night. Entrance is one block East on Harvard Ave. Take the stairs at the back of the garage to get onto Boylston without having to walk around the block.

    Can't wait for the wait list function! I will hope a spot opens up...

    I'm going to go ahead and increase the RSVP limit to 30. The space we're using at Office Nomads can comfortably sit 14-16 people. I capped the RSVP at 23 for the May event, it filled up weeks prior to the event, but 7 people canceled their RSVPs the day of, another 6 people didn't show, and there were seats available.

    If everyone who RSVPs actually comes to this event, it will be crowded and I apologize in advance.

    There's no official wait list. I have two future dates I'm working on with Office Nomads - 7/22 and 8/12. So stay tuned.

    We also have plans to create a video version of "Networking the Biznik Way" for the web site.

    Hi Lara, I just found out that my daughter has a graduation reception on Wed night so I need to delay attending this event. Dang .... I wish I had the ability to clone myself so I could attend both events. Enjoy the evening. I look forward to seeing you at the next event. Warm Regards Drue

    I'm glad you expanded the RSVP list since I came down with a cold and became last-minute MIA. I'll be sure to sign up for the next one. I'm really looking forward to becoming a more astute Bizniker.

    This event was a really helpful initiation into the way Biznik works - I feel much more confident now about how to participate. I'm also really impressed with the people who showed up and the quality of what they have to offer. I feel honored to be in their company. Miriam
