While the pandemic prevents guests from safely meeting in large groups, it certainly doesn't mean that you can't still network! This event will be mimicking the in-person event as much as possible by breaking up into small facilitator-led breakout rooms to give pitches. After, the host will shuffle everyone up and do it again several more times.
Event Format
11 to 11:08 a.m. - Welcome and Instructions
11:08 a.m. to 12 p.m. - Speed Networking
12 p.m. - Open Networking

Northside Networking was created to bring expanded business networking to the Northside Chicago neighborhoods of Edgewater, Rogers Park, Lakeview/Roscoe Village, Uptown, and West Ridge. Events are held 5 times per year and the host rotates between the five areas. The success of these events is due to the participation of community businesses and word-of-mouth of past participants sharing within their networks.
