The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce is hosting a 5 Minute Networking session on September 27, 2007 at what we still like to call “Pea Soup Anderson’s“. It sounds like one of the silliest exercises ever. For only $30:
You will have the opportunity to meet up to 20 individuals, one-on-one, in 5 minute increments. In a 5 minute meeting with another individual, you can describe your respective businesses, exchange business cards, and pass on referrals.
Can you imagine our five mintues:
Hi, we’re The Editors of Carlsbadistan. We search the Internet for interesting, odd, shocking, or silly stories related in someway to Carlsbad and we put them up on a website that nobody reads. . . you say you’re a single, 37 year old real estate agent with two kids (five and seven), and a roofing business on the side? Here’s my card, oh, and do you know any really good massage therapists?
Sounds like a bad version of speed dating. Maybe we should go. . . undercover and report back.
