Thorne Communications, a promotional products marketing company in the Chicagoland area, will be participating in two fall/holiday networking opportunities in 2011 in Chicago’s western suburbs.
Networking 2.0 – Hosted by the Carol Stream Chamber of Commerce, Networking 2.0 will be a F2F (face-to-face) meetup of Chicago area networkers on Thursday, November 17, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Carol Stream. Whether they’ve connected on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Plus or through chamber of commerce events, this is an opportunity to meet your online network IRL (in real life). Smartphone users will have the opportunity to learn more about QR codes and how to use them. There will also be an accelerated networking opportunity (think “speed dating” for networking). The main feature of the evening will be a panel discussion with these social media experts:
- Brian Basilico, B2b Interactive Marketing – Nationally recognized speaker on social networking
