BNC Entrepreneur 2009 Summer Social

Startups & Small Business owners are invited to join us for the first BNC summer social for entrepreneurs. Cool off from the summer heat with a smoothie and enjoy hors d'oeuvres while mingling with other business owners.

This event is for business owners/partners or those in the process of developing a small business and NOT for those who only want to solicit business from other entrepreneurs. There will be no fixed agenda but an opportunity to share resources, brainstorm innovative ideas, and develop relationships which eventually will lead to business opportunities. Be sure to bring plenty of business cards.

 “What is the best thing about being an entrepreneur?” - Tell us when you register and you could win a $50 gift certificate. Attendees will vote from a selection of entries chosen by the sponsors. Deadline to enter contest will be August 10, noon. 

In order to support BNC Entrepreneurs in growing their businesses, for the first time we are offering an advertising medium for this event. If you are not sure if you qualify as a small business sponsor please contact us before registering for the premier ticket entrepreneur_group@bnchicago.org or 312-371-3786
