This event is consistently named the FAVORITE networking event throughout the year. \nTips from LoudounSmallBiz if you are attending for the first time: \n\nYou will rotate tables 5-6 times during the event so bring enough business cards for each rotation.\nPrepare your elevator pitch! You will deliver a 60-second overview of your business at each table.\nEach table has an ambassador to keep the pitches flowing and make sure that you know where to go next.\nNetworking starts 5-10 minutes into the event so grab breakfast as soon as you arrive or at the end to avoid carrying your plate from table to table.\nThe signature sponsors all have an opportunity to share more information about their organization.\n\nRegister: https://www.loudounchamber.org/events
