Raven's B2B NETWORKING MIXER August 13, 2009

THE MIXER:

This is THE best event to mix, mingle, network and socialize! We provide a comfortable, inviting environment openly welcoming all with an entrepreneurial spirit! Bring plenty of business cards and get ready to meet with some of the Valley’s most enterprising, successful business owners and professionals in an informal, open forum. The B2B Networking Mixer is a popular event that takes place every 2nd Thursday of each month and brings in about 350 guests. Each month we promote and feature a business or organization that becomes the focal point prior to and during each mixer. Although this event is held in a fun, upbeat atmosphere, make no mistake about it, in attendance are like-minded individuals who are there to exchange ideas, get referrals, make beneficial introductions and seek out serious business connections. This is a FREE event that was created, and always hosted, by Raven Events, LLC.
