A few rules to help you get the most of your meetup visit

The first rule of Connect Now is be positive! Attend with a mindset of reciprocity. Connect Now events have been created for the mutual benefit of all members. It’s the place to get connected, and be inspired!

Please note that each person is responsible for paying their lunch bill to the restaurant. The meetup fee goes towards the maintenance, technical costs, administration, and promotional activities of the group. They are not transferable or refundable.

As a member and attendee, you will experience a warm and welcoming, yet well organized and professional environment. Be prepared to share your business story in a 30 Second Power Introduction (elevator speech) speed round format. Bring lots of business cards! Get connected, learn, and have fun!
