There are other business networking events across the country that are held in the form of Business Breakfast, Evening Socials, All Day Events, etc.  These events are held locally and nationally by organizations that are formed with the sole interest of offering businesses the opportunity to promote themselves and find new customers. 

Some organizations require that you pay a fee and become a member while others do not require membership, but require you to  pay for meals during events.

Some organizations do not take in more than one business in the same industry.  This is done to prevent two businesses from competing for the same potential customers.

Business Networking organizations across the country manage their meetings differently.  Some just provide the opportunity to meet and talk with whomever you choose, while others give you the opportunity to have short meetings with everyone in attendance through two minute round-robin sessions.
