Oct 11    Fall Multi-Chamber Progressive Luncheon ~ October 11, 2017

Join Addison, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights & Roselle for a Multi-Chamber Progressive Luncheon on Wednesday October 11, at the Medinah Shrine Center.

BRING Flyers, Menus, Brochures, or giveaways - we will have the brown bags set up for you to stuff before the luncheon. Please allow some extra time for this.

11:15 am Registration

11:45 am Luncheon

What is a Progressive Luncheon?
The main idea of a Progressive Luncheon is to rotate tables for each course of your meal in order to meet three tables of business professionals face-to-face to maximize the networking opportunity.

When you arrive, you will be given a name tag and three numbers. These numbers represent the three different tables at which you will 'dine.'  At each table, there will be a moderator with questions who will direct the flow of the introductions and conversation.

At your first table, you'll hear directions for the day and have your first course. After a period of time, there will be an announcement to report to your second table, as indicated on your name tag, where entrees will be served. After that, there will be another announcement encouraging you to move to your third and final table for dessert.


Bring plenty of business cards!

RSVP by October 6. No walk-ins.
