Irvine Chamber of Commerce Hosts Network Orange County

Held on August 19, 2010, Network Orange County drew in hundreds of business professionals from all around Orange County for some fantastic referral and networking opportunities. The event was held at the Atrium Hotel, OC Airport in the poolside cabanas. In terms of venue, it's hard to argue with networking poolside on a warm and sunny day in Orange County. We had an awesome time walking around and meeting everyone in attendance, all while basking in the great weather.

In case you missed out on the fun, the following pictures might help you get a better feel for the event:

As I'm sure you can see, this was a pretty idyllic summertime networking affair. Special thanks to everyone who helped make this event possible: the chambers of commerce in Orange County (spearheaded by Kim Sherman and Kathy Tavoularis of the Irvine Chamber of Commerce). We'd also like to thank Frances Tang of Professional Polynesian Entertainment for being so helpful.

Last but not least, a big thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by the Largest Mixer® booth. It was a pleasure meeting all of you and we hope to see you at one of our upcoming Largest Mixer® events!

Fairplex Pomona Teams Up with Chambers to Host 6th Annual Joint Chamber Mixer

The Fairplex Pomona, to celebrate the beginning of the L.A. County Fair, joined up with the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce, Claremont Chamber of Commerce, Glendora Chamber of Commerce, La Verne Chamber of Commerce, Pomona Chamber of Commerce, San Dimas Chamber of Commerce, Upland Chamber of Commerce, and the Regional Chamber of Commerce, San Gabriel Valley on August 10, 2010 for the 6th Annual Joint Chamber Mixer. With the combined efforts of the Fairplex and so many fantastic chambers, it came to no surprise that the mixer was as lively and bustling as it was. Members of all the different chambers were given the opportunity to meet one another, network, and discover potential business opportunities outside of their own cities.

This year the joint mixer was held at Finish Line Sports Grill in Pomona, CA. In our humble opinion, this was pretty much the perfect venue for the joint mixer. The atmosphere was cool but relaxed, the bar was well-stocked, and the food was nothing short of outstanding. With weekly specials, live entertainment, and an abundant supply of cold, crisp beer, this would be your ideal venue to come out, relax, and enjoy the game of your choice on over 70 (yes I said 70) flat-screen TVs.

On top of the networking opportunity galore and fantastic venue, we also ran into some of our very own Largest Mixer® exhibitors. Just to name a few: Kelli Holmes of TEAM Referral Network, Renee Futter of Arbonne, and Amir Mertaban of the LA County Fair. Thanks for your continued support!

We'd like to extend a special thanks to Fairplex Pomona for organizing this event and making it all possible. We're already looking forward to number seven! Also, on a semi-related note, keep an eye out for Inland Empire's Largest Mixer® IV coming up on Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at the Ontario Convention Center. If you had fun celebrating 12 years of L.A.'s Largest Mixer®, get ready to see what four years of Inland Empire can bring!
