Santa Ana Business Connection Hosts Viva Orange County! Business Expo, Presented by Allura Printing


On Wednesday, November 18, the Largest Mixer® exhibited at the Santa Ana Business Connections' Viva Orange County! Business Expo, presented by Allura Printing. The expo was held at the Doubletree Hotel and had over 80 exhibitors and hundreds of attendees packing the ballroom. Needless to say, the event was a fantastic opportunity to network with dozens of Orange County professionals.


After paying just a $5.00 admission fee, attendees not only had a chance to get some one on one networking time, but also an opportunity to enjoy free restaurant food samples and enter a raffle for some pretty nifty prizes (the grand prize was His & Her Citizen Watches provided by Teresa's Jewelers).

Just a few of the sponsors and exhibitors in attendance were El Aviso Magazine, Marie Callender's, and Union Bank.

Special thanks to Nancy Sandoval and Vince Brantley for throwing yet another successful business expo! We look forward to the next one!
