NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

CONNECT WITH LOCAL PROFESSIONALS AND GROW YOUR BUSINESS

Networking is more than a buzz word; it is a crucial element to your business success. The measure of successful networking isn’t the quantity of business cards you collect, but the quality of real-life business relationships you develop. A prime benefit of membership with the Plano Chamber is the access to weekly and monthly opportunities to connect with other local professionals.

BUSINESS AFTER HOURS

These networking events are held quarterly at Plano Chamber member business locations and feature networking, refreshments, and the opportunity to discover unique local businesses. Attendees build valuable new contacts and make new friends, so be sure to bring plenty of business cards and come ready to have fun!

FRIDAY MORNING AT THE CHAMBER

Kick start your Friday by waking up with coffee and lively conversations every week on Friday Morning at the Chamber. The goal of Friday Morning at the Chamber is to build personal and professional relationships with other members while exchanging leads, and business tips, growing your prospect list, and, most importantly, referrals.

Attendees at these dynamic meetings introduce themselves and their business with a 30-second commercial. Enjoy host-facilitated networking with 50-100 local business professionals who attend each week.

Friday Morning at the Chamber is held weekly at the Plano Chamber office. We recommend arriving early for parking and registration. Doors open at 7:15 a.m., meeting begins at 7:45 a.m. sharp.
