Mega Market is Thursday, November 10th This is one of our most popular networking events because of its fast-paced and fun environment...and it’s affordable for any organization. Attendees get 2 minutes to talk about their business face-to-face
with other members at a round-table of 8. Each person at the table takes a turn passing out infor-mation and giving their pitch before changing to an-
other new table of faces. Multiple rotations through-out the half-day event means you will make 60-70
connections who can be your next new customer or
referral for your business. At just $60/person, you not only get lots of new connections, but you also get
lunch and a reception at the end of the day included in the price. Space is limited, and no more than 2
representatives from a business may sign up to make for a wide variety of business connections. Get all the
details online at http://www.amarillo-chamber.org/mega-market.html or call Jason at 342-2018 with
questions or to become a sponsor.
Thanks to these sponsors: Amarillo Economic Devel-
opment Corporation & Holiday Inn Amarillo West Medical Center. Thanks to these table sponsors: Amarillo National Bank, Baptist Community Services,
J Ferg Roofing and Foam, Pure Element Water, and Top Zone Media Group, LLC.
