Missouri Business Alert

Connect in 8 is a speed networking event designed to allow seasoned business professionals and emerging entrepreneurs in Columbia to form meaningful community connections that endure long after the event. 
This event will mock a speed dating session, in which a panel of mentors (all established businesspersons in Columbia) meet with their younger counterparts in a strictly timed, structured format. Free networking to link back up with “matches” will commence after all pre-arranged meetings have taken place.
IMPORTANT: You must register before Sunday, September 13 at 11:59 p.m. to receive a customized schedule of matches best suited to your preferences. Registration is open after Sunday, however, you will NOT receive a customized schedule of matches – you will be paired with attendees at random.
