About this event
ATTENTION PROFESSIONALS IN AND AROUND THE CHARLOTTE, NC AREA:
Charlotte Professional Networking Week was founded by Carlos V. Davis of Stand & Deliver, LLC. It is a week long encounter that utilizes professional networking opportunities to build brand awareness for local professionals. The mission of the week is to be a venue for the professional community to assist them in creating opportunities in the focus areas of entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and employment. From gaining new clients to getting new funding to getting training to help securing a job interview, there is something for everyone during the week. Regardless of age, professional background, or industry, all professionals are welcome to participate in this worthwhile experience!
