know regarding employment and other critical issues. After the

corporate meeting room with refreshments and drinks.
After two previous successful networking events and based on
suggestions from our members, we will make the networking section a
very casual one where participants can get to know each other and
each’s business/business interest well, so as to initiate some
collaboration in the future. 5 – 10 minutes will be granted to
those who apply for a fairly formal presentation about their business
or business proposals (limit to 3 -4), while a round-room

ethnical groups, Indian and African Chamber of Commerce. This is an
effort initiated by our non-profit organization to promote broader
business exchanges and opportunities between members of different
entrepreneur groups in the GNYC region. The effect is yet to be seen,
but will be positive

owners to join us and have a wonderful time while expanding your
