2012 Chamber Networking & News (CNN) Schedule Available
What is CNN?
Chamber Networking News (CNN)
is a program that was formed to provide a comfortable social
setting for Chamber members to meet and network on a weekly basis.
Where do the CNNs take place?
Each Friday
morning, Chamber members from various businesses meet at different
conveniently located sites around the Tri-State. The locations
selected for 2012 include Fairfield Inn West, Casino Aztar
Executive Conference Center, the American Red Cross and GattiTown.

What takes place at the
CNNs?
Once there, participants mingle and eventually
have a seat at one of the 10 to 12 tables located around the room.
After everyone has a seat, all members are given the opportunity
to stand up, introduce themselves and announce what company they
represent. Following introductions, the moderator sets a timer and
allows each member two minutes to promote his or her business,
explain its products and/or services and distribute brochures and
business cards to the other five to eight members of the table.
When you hear the bell, it’s time to move to the next table and
meet someone new.
How many people attend CNNs
regularly?
With an average attendance of over 80
people at each CNN, this networking event is the Tri-State’s most effective way
to meet one-on-one with potential clients on a regular basis.
These meetings are free to Chamber members and include coffee and
doughnuts.
Sponsorships are available!
Any Chamber member business can sponsor a weekly CNN meeting
for just $100 per meeting. This sponsorship allows the business'
representative the opportunity to place promotional items at each
table as well as three to five minutes to speak to the entire
group. This is one of the least expensive ways to spread the word
about your business in the Tri-State! If you would like to sponsor
a CNN, please contact Eric Beasley
at ebeasley@ccswin.com or 812-425-8147.
Summary:
CNNs allow you to
build relationships with business professionals in your community,
provide and receive referrals, expand your network of contacts,
share your products and services and develop name recognition of
your business. Testimonials and success stories are shared each
week to confirm just how effective CNNs really are.
