Small business owners filled the board room of the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber in Port Elizabeth this morning for the organization’s very first speed networking session.
The Business Chamber gave its SMME members the chance to meet other like-minded business owners at a morning speed networking session facilitated by Jane Stevenson and supported by Standard Bank, set up to ensure meaningful business engagement. The session was designed to set Chamber members up in front of people representing a variety of industries, giving them a chance to talk about their services and business needs, to meet potential clients face to face and to grow their networks. Delegates left the event with fistfuls of business cards, and newly-bulging contact books.
