KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Get ready for an exciting event co-hosted by the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visit Huntington Beach. We’ve developed this speed networking event for you to meet other businesses and learn more about each other, and hopefully brainstorm some ideas on how to work together. Similar to speed dating, you’ll have a limited time to chat before you move on to the next table. You never know what kind of new ideas and opportunities you’ll discover! Read these tips to help you make the most of the event.
WHAT TO WEAR
The event will take place indoors, so business casual attire works!
WHAT TO BRING
Make sure you bring plenty of bring business cards (we estimate that you may need up to 100). You can also bring flyers or anything else to promote your business. If you’re interested in providing a raffle item, please bring it with you.
LOCATION & PARKING
Event takes place at the HB Elks Lodge, at 7711 Talbert Ave. Parking is available on-site.
FOOD & BEVERAGES
Food and beverages will be provided by Domino’s on 16486 Bolsa Chica Ave, Expertec Automotive and Visit HB.
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
