Last night I was invited to attend the Vancouver Board of Trade’s member reception at the Vancouver Rowing Club. This was an excellent opportunity to network and after reading Darcy Rezac’s (MD of the Board of Trade) article in Make it Business magazine about positive networking, I felt I had to get out more to events like this.

There was definitely a diverse gathering and some of the people I met included:

King George International Business College

Career Plan

MGC Solutions

TesPro Equipment

Meyers Norris Penny

Beamer Studios

C Dot Networks

Summer Hill Promotional Products

Any many others who’s names and coordinates I didn’t collect and don’t recall.

Getting out and meeting peers and colleagues is an important part of running a business. Finding and making time for it will pay dividends with marketing, partnership opportunities, sales and obtaining opinions and business advice from those who have been there, done that.
