Event description

We love Biznik, and we know you will, too, especially once you see how well the one-two networking punch of awesome online resources + great real-life community works.

Come meet up with real, L.A. peeps at our now-regular monthly gathering in the Marina. Networking newbie? No problem! This is the friendliest, lowest-key, funnest (yeah, it's a word...in our world) event around. No speakers, no agenda—just cool, indie business people like yourself gathering to meet, talk, share ideas, blow off steam and build the connections that will change lives.

Okay—that's a little dramatic. How about this: it's networking that is FUN and EASY and FREE!

Join us! Bring your iPhone or crackberry if you can't bear to be away from the email for an hour or so, but bring yourself. We gather on the covered patio, closest to the parking lot. It's getting nice out, so maybe we'll spill out onto the UNcovered patio this time.

There is NO CHARGE to attend; just buy a drink or snack and Mike, our cruise director at Jerry's, will be happy to keep hosting. Bring small bills: we split the check to keep the wear and tear on our waitrons to a minimum.

Colleen looks just like her picture, if it's five years ago and you're standing on a ladder, looking down at her. Heather looks just like her picture, plus cool glasses. We'll have name tags, just to make it super-easy. We can't wait to meet you!

DOWN AND DIRTY DEETS:

FREE! (but throw our hosts a bone and get yourself a wee something)
free parking (and plenty of it!)
bring small bills! (we split the check)
freeway-friendly (right off the 90!)
we're on the side patio
did we mention we'd love to meet you? WE WOULD!

Had a great time at the Oct. 09 LA biznik event at Jerry's Deli. Such a big group of people. Loved that most were up and mingling and genuinely interested in helping each other grow our businesses. Thank you to the organizers :)

I have been to 4 networking events as of this week, and enjoyed the energy of people at Biznik by far. I look forward to the next Biznik event!!

Thank you to Colleen and Heather for yet another smashing success of an event! It was nice to see some new faces and meet new folks. Hope to see everyone again next month!

A big big thanks to the stupendous Parlato-Wainwright tagteam hosting tandem for giving us yet another gala event. Enzo wants me to pass along a special thanks to the fine biznikers for petting him a lot, and he got his weekly affection quotient filled in just one night. Arf!
