The Gurnee Chamber of Commerce hosted the first ever Multi Chamber Networking event. Six local chambers participated in the well attended speed networking program. Waukegan Business Association, Lake Villa/Lindenhurst Chamber, Grayslake Chamber, Deerfield/Riverwoods/Bannockburn Chamber, and the Gurnee Chamber were the Chambers in attendance.
Over 170 attendees got the opportunity to share their "story" and business cards with other participants. The format allowed for 1 minute "commercials" to 9 other attendees at a table. After the 10 minute session was completed, attendees moved to a preassigned new table and repeated the process. After three transitions, attendees got to present their story to 30 different business people. Some attendees like Tim Kobb of JDK Concepts gave out promotional items such as pens and sticky note pads. Nothing like going the extra mile.
Look for another version of this event as the response was an overwhelming "Yes, let's do it again" from those in attendance.
