Take Your Business Outside This Summer

As a new business, I understand the importance of networking, meeting new people, and getting the word out about your work.  If you are looking for a new way to accomplish these goals, definitely consider The Chateau Briand Caterers Networking Events this summer.  By getting together many executives on one night, you can meet an endless amount of new people while enjoying their beautiful outdoor garden scenery.  There are 5 events throughout the summer on topics like real-estate, finance, non-profits, and technology.  All the events run from 5:30 to 8:30 pm (or later) and are $30 admission which includes food, open bar, and live entertainment.  There is limited seating available, so call early to reserve your spot!
