Check out this Virtual Mingle Networking Event, on Thursday, August 18, 2011 from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. (limited to 200 people).

This event is being co-facilitated by Donna Fisher, Author of Power Networking, Power Networking Nuggets, People Power, Professional Networking for Dummies and soon to-be-released Switched-on-Networking!

You dial in (with your access code) and network with lots of people (which are gathered in small groups). Then you mingle and move on to other groups. Sounds like a lot of fun, but you have to register to come!

==============================================

About this Virtual Mingle!

Virtual Networking is the latest in ease, comfort and efficiency in networking.  In the comfort of your home or office (or wherever you happen to be – as long as you have your phone handy) you simply dial in to attend a network event of diverse professionals.  You will be placed in a small group of 3 or 4 and given a chance to meet and connect with one another. And then you will say goodbye to that group and join another group – and on and on throughout the event – a Virtual Mingle!

You must register in advance so that we can send you the phone number and your unique access code!  http://www.theminglegroup.com/event-registration/

Because of the instructional nature of the first few minutes of the call, we recommend you arrive on time!

Why Virtual Networking?

Connecting with people at a Virtual Mingle is easy, efficient, economical and fun! You don’t have to “dress up”, stock up on business cards, get out in the heat, spend time driving through traffic, or be concerned about how to approach people. Everything is taken care of.

All you do is dial in with your unique access code and voila – you connect and communicate with more people than you would connect with at a face-to-face event – and all from the comfort of your home or office. Through this leading-edge technology, you will be placed (over the phone) into small groups and given a chance to get to know each other – and then you will “mingle” and move into another small group – throughout the event.

Once you sign up you will be sent an email with the phone number and your unique access code!  Sign up now and we’ll “see” you on Thursday, August 18th: http://www.theminglegroup.com/event-registration/

This event is being hosted by The Mingle Group and InHouston. Donna Fisher, author of “Power Networking” will be co-facilitating the event with Jay Kraker, founder of The Mingle Group.

Benefits of Virtual Networking:

• You are guaranteed to mingle efficiently as you are placed in groups through the technology.
• You “move around the room” in a timely manner and thus meet more people than you would likely meet at a face-to-face event.
• You are likely to meet as many people in a one-hour Virtual Mingle as you would meet in a two-hour face-to-face event.
• The time you would normally spend driving to and from the event and finding a parking place, you can now spend with family, friends, pets or on your favorite hobbies!
• You save the money you would normally spend on gas, drinks and parking.
• You get to meet and connect with people while in the comfort of your home or office.
• You save your business cards for other occasions.
• If you choose to be at a computer during the call, you can pull up the websites of the people you are meeting at the mingle.
• You can exchange information and send emails and social media requests immediately – easy follow up!
• You are developing a “Hybrid Networking” lifestyle – a blend of online and face-to-face interactions.
• You have the chance to meet people you might not normally connect with at a face-to-face event – possibility for global connections.
• Oh yeah – and did we mention – You don’t have to get out in the HEAT – Stay cool in the comfort of your home or office!
