Coffee & Cards: Expand Your Network, Grow Your Business
| Join the Chamber at our next Coffee &
Cards networking event hosted by West Village retailer glassybaby and sponsored by ADP.
Coffee & Cards provides you with a direct opportunity to meet and network with business professionals who understand the meaning and value of building mutually benifical relationships.
The idea behind these events is that simple relationships can drive growth for your business. Each registered Chamber Member is invited with a guest, a colleague or associate, so that the network is strong, not limited and constantly growing. When a member RSVPs, you will be registered with your guest, who can be a member or non-member. Non-members can attend a Coffee & Cards event only once. And of course you can register as a solo attendee and choose not to bring a guest!
Coffee & Cards Wednesday, August 4 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
 555 Hudson Street between 11th and Perry St
RSVP by Monday, August 3.
Coffee and light refreshments provided by ADP.
