Making Connections: A Networking Lunch with a Twist
Looking to grow your network without the awkward elevator pitches? Join the Woodstock Chamber for Making Connections, a fun and engaging networking lunch designed to spark real conversations and meaningful connections.
This isn’t your typical networking scramble. Instead, each table will feature a conversation topic to guide discussion and break the ice—making it easier to connect, share ideas, and learn from fellow professionals in a relaxed, welcoming setting. You’ll still have plenty of time to exchange business cards, promote your business, and build new relationships—just in a more natural and enjoyable way.
Sample table topics may include:
Two Truths & One Myth (About Your Business)
Find Your Common Ground
How Not to Describe Your Business
Your Favorite Thing About What You Do
The Best Advice You’ve Ever Received in Business
Whether you’re a seasoned networker or attending your first Chamber event, Making Connections offers a fresh, low-pressure way to connect with others while enjoying lunch.
