Charlotte is a great city for business; there are many networking events that representatives can attend to make new connections, give pitches, and attract customers. What's more, many of these events are free, costing the companies no money to promote themselves and make as many acquaintances as they can. As an IT business, CODANK Web Design has found that networking events are a great way of getting the word out about our services. Charlotte's Tech After Five at the Blackfinn Saloon was no exception.
The festivities began around 5:30 on Tuesday afternoon. Blackfinn is located uptown at the epicenter, in the heart of Charlotte. The restaurant is nice and spacious, having an outdoor eating area as well as two levels on the inside. Downstairs is a restaurant while upstairs is the bar, which is where Tech After Five was hosted. As soon as we walked in, the staff greeted us and took our names to delegate the name tags, and every participant was offered a ticket for a free drink. The hospitality didn't end there. The staff made sure to check on us frequently; customer service was a priority.
We had a good turnout; many IT techs and agents showed up to chat and mingle. The atmosphere was professional but fun. We were introduced to other professionals in our field and those in related fields. People from every occupational background in IT were there, for every purpose imaginable. In addition to business owners looking for customers, there were professionals looking for peers, talent, and job opportunities. Although some came with one purpose in mind, the event was geared towards covering all purposes and everyone got that opportunity. People from many different companies showed up; CPCC, Oracle, and Time Warner Cable were just a few of the big names represented.
All in all, Tech After Five is a great event to go to if you're short on cash and want to meet new people. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff is helpful; plus, you can win prizes, like Blackfinn gift certificates and tickets worth up to $500 for other networking events in the area. If you missed Tuesday's event, don't worry because Tech After Five is coming back around the same time next month. Be sure to attend; you never know who you might meet.
