The two Supporting Members will be selected by a drawing at this VIP Event. Those interested in attending the October 15 reception may enter the drawing by putting their business card in a bowl. Drawing will take place at 6:30pm. You must be present to win.


What is Supporting Membership?

Supporting Members of Biznik (marked with a gold star) have elected to upgrade their membership level for $24/month. In addition to exclusive Supporting Member-only events like this one, Supporting Members receive all the enhanced profile features available to Active ($10) Members, and benefit from premier visibility inside the Biznik community.

What does this translate to? Our reports show that on average Supporting Members receive 26 times more traffic from Biznik.com to their own web sites than Basic (free) Members.

    Sorry I didn't show up...clutch went out on my SUV. I am now without wheels until Thursday. Ugh.

    Really hated missing this one, the last one was so cool!
    I'll be there for the next one, even if I have to walk!

    What a great event! It was terrific meeting bizniks I haven't met before, and connecting fellow bizniks to one another (that always feels so good to introduce two people who have a need in common).

    What's more, it was a great space to connect further with people I have met, but haven't had a chance to really talk with for any length of time.

    The setting at Twist is very condusive to networking, socializing, and finding out more about individuals who pique your interest.

    There's a roomy, quieter, talking space with couchy benches and a huge window on the sound, and the darker, standing up and rubbing elbows bar space (which is also very roomy). With two connected, but very different spaces, bizniks can choose their setting to make the most of all possible connections.

    Plus, the bartender, Jerry, is super friendly and the waitress, Taylor, did her best to serve everyone all at once with style and a smile; she served all 54 guests. Go biznik!
