We all know that it is who you know not what you know. In
today's employment and business situations this statement has
become all too apparent. Regardless if you are a person looking to
the right opportunity or if you are a business looking for the next
deal, networking in Daytona Beach has to be a priority tool in your
bag of tricks. As an individual does it not make sense that you
would look for a company that is involved in networking? As a
business owner, don't you want a person on your team that knows
the importance of connections throughout the town?
In no particular order, here are the top 'Gotta Be There'
networking events in the Daytona Beach area.
Wine Down Wednesday - While this may be touted as a wine
tasting event, make no mistake, the wines that are being sipped are
in the hands of the movers and shakers of Daytona Beach. This
casual event is held each Wednesday amid three waterfalls and
ancient oaks. Just the ambiance is conducive to making deals and
building relationships. Held each Wednesday from 5:00 to 7:30 PM
Location: Martini's Chophouse 1815 S. Ridgewood Ave South
Daytona, FL 386-763-1090 www.MartinisChopHouse.com
Daytona Beach Young Professionals Group - Commonly referred
to as YPG this group is comprised of both up and coming and already
there professionals. The ages in this group range from young twenty
something to mid forties. With several hundred members and a very
active board, this is a great group to see and be seen with. Events
include not only the famous third Thursday but power lunches and
social gatherings.
Location: Varies - See event calendar at www.DaytonaYPG2007.com
Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce - This is, of course, the
traditional networking route. Monthly 'Business After
Hours' is a combination of doing business and just hanging out.
Open to both members and non-members this monthly event is held at
different locations throughout the area.
Location: Varies - See event calendar at www.DaytonaChamber.com
If you want to keep up to date on where to be and what is going on
locally, tune your dial to Wake Up Daytona each morning from
6:00 to 9:00 AM. While not a traditional networking event, the host
of this early morning talk radio show, Doug Kosarek, is in-the-know
and should be listened to by anyone with any interest in the
happenings in Daytona Beach, regardless if it is political,
business or social.
Location: WNDB 1150AM and www.WakeUpDaytona.com
It is just that easy. There are literally hundreds of other
organizations, committees, industry groups, and informal meetings
that happen all over this city. That does not even count the very
active online networking groups in Daytona Beach. Make sure you
