3rd Thursday Networking Event

On the 3rd Thursday of each month, the Black Business Professional Network hosts a business and professional networking event. These events are an opportunity for BBPN members and others to meet face-to-face, exchange valuable information, share knowledge, and gain business and professional development through speakers, forums, and other other activities designed to sharpen their skills and build business contacts. The subjects offered during these events are member driven and often feature BBPN members in the role of subject-matter-experts.
The events are generally sponsored by BBPN Partner companies and organizations who are interested in supporting BBPN and its members. Often, they are interested in gaining our business by introducing members to their products and services. They may also be interested in becoming consumers of what our members have to offer them. Whether members are seen as potential consumers of the BBPN Partner companies' products and services or vice versa our aim here is to broaden our scope, economically. The 3rd Thursday Networking Event is an opportunity for networking, socialize, and build valuable contacts for business and professional development.
