    I hope everyone had a great time. I got stranded so couldn't make it. Looking forward to the next. Check out MeetingWave.com if you'd like to any targeted networking in the meantime.

    Best networking event I ever attended.

    The BASH was a GREAT event...YES it was too loud and YES it made it difficult to create any real meeting / bonding BUT what it did offer was a business card exchange that properly conducted and will excellent follow up ... A business professional can create new connections. Bob & Harrison worked very hard to create this event and because of certain constraints that we require like a bar and food available ... there are not a lot of venues that can handle our needs. I will attend future Networking CT events as I believe this group provides an excellent opportunity to create new connections for my business and I feel that since I have a tremendous amount to give to others...this group will help me build my business and that of others I am involved with in business development

    I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST last nite. Only downfall was that because we came from New Haven and with work, I didn't get there until 6:30. :( It was an all around great time with great people. Thank you!

    The best! There were professionals from various backgrounds which is the best way to share information and methods that pertain to all businesses. The host facilitated some fun activities, the room was full and there was something for everyone. I especially liked the forum as it was a "stand up" event where you have the best opportunity to literally meet face to face.
  • Randi Hutton
    I found it to be too noisy to really talk to people...seemed like you needed to shout and it was too much effort. Also thought it would be a good idea if name tags also held the profession...easier to use time efficiently to talk to people you really want to target...esp. since this meeting included people outside of the core group. I did think it was a good idea to brng other groups together for this -- would just prefer a breakfast or lunch situation. I do think the leaders of this group are innovative and really nice guys....I am all for trying ddifferent venues...this one just wasn't on my top 10 list...

  • Jessica Layman
    This was my first time. The event was well organized and attended. It was social and relaxing. Met some great people. I will return to other events.
  • John L. Mocker
    When you spend 2 hours networking and still do not meet everyone that's a great turnout. I met a lot of great people and actually came away with 2 active leads for Insurance.

    Great job, Harrison! What a nice group of interesting people.

    It was a good group with diversified professionals. Blacjbear Saloon offers a nice ambience and reasonably priced beverages. Well done!
