There is a new opportunity at Greater Omaha Chamber events that you need to know about! Most Coffee & Contacts and Rush Hour Connections now include a small group breakout session held during the event. Individuals in like industries break away from the main group for about 15 minutes to discuss or exchange ideas, ask questions and share emerging industry updates and best practices.
These breakout sessions are proving to be popular and productive; connections are being made and business is being done!
Below is a list of upcoming small group breakout sessions. Browse the list and if you are part of the targeted industry, register for the event today!
This is a great opportunity for those not directly involved in the targeted industry but who want to do business with that industry. Plan to meet these industry professionals before and after their short breakout session!
