Sponsorship Opportunities - YOUR OWN Business Networking Mixer

An Offer You Can't Refuse!
Do the Math: How much time, effort, resources, and money will it cost you to organize your company event (holiday party, launch, grand opening, etc)? Consider the costs of location rental, tables, linens, caterers, insurance, live entertainment, staffing, marketing, time and money lost to organize the event... And then you only invite your existing clients and employees! How much did you earn?? Your ROI (Return On Invetment) is negative! To save time and money you might be better off organizing a potluck in your backyard OR you could collaborate with us...

Create alliances, leverage your business, generate revenues, and connect with hundreds of executives, decision-makers, professionals and business owners (B2B and B2C, your NEXTclients) at our events. The 'ambiance and vibe' at our business networking mixers is unique, upscale, approachable, professional and fun, with a twist of friendly hospitality...
