Business Networking
No, I didn't forget to write. I am working on putting together some information on the area. Don't worry, I'm not going to charge anything! I just want people that are new to San Luis Obispo to love it here like I do. A vacation or a weekend getaway should be worry free. That's what makes them special.
I was at the Chamber of Commerce last week (another good source for information) and noticed that there was a business night at Embassy Suites. I think it was on a Wednesday. The idea behind it was that businesses could network with other businesses. A lot of people showed up. Partly because it was free I'm sure. It turned out to be beneficial to me.
I needed to find a summer program for my son, I think I found three of them. I was looking for wine makers for another blog I do, there were four or more. I accomplished several things I had been putting off. There was over 50, if not 100 businesses handing out promotional items. Pens, note pads, toys for kids, magnets all sorts of things. Others decided to use food to attract people. It seemed to work.
I met some great people and now have a bigger network.
So there is something else to do in SLO town. It's once a year. Enjoy.
