Houston Networking

I have a few more sources to add to the Houston networking agenda. These are some other key groups where business professional come to mix and mingle for success. I wanted to give Midtown Live readers a chance to find out about other Houston networking opportunities that might become the key to helping you to achieve more in life.

Some of the best networking groups in the city host monthly events where you can learn from some of the countries top motivational and professional speakers on relevant topics. The ideal networking events should offer a deeper value than just sales prospecting. It should provide ample time and a format to connect with other Houston business professionals.

One of Houston premier business networking clubs is InHouston. Their website has a variety of local opportunities to meet with other professionals working in your industry and a list of monthly meeting going down in your neck of the woods.

Many young professionals enjoy more of a laid-back party atmosphere and NetParty provides just that. It's a combination mixer networking event that are held in Houston's hippest nightspots and "combine business networking with social fun."

This 60-year old Houston networking group has committees that actively engage in areas of education, economic development, business resources, government affairs, special activities, and a wide variety of other interests.

The SW Chamber’s Leadership program is in its 15th year of providing area professionals with an overview of what is happening in the fields of criminal justice, education, quality of life, the arts, civic engagement, state and local government, health and human services, and media.

Houston Citizens Chamber of Commerce

Many African American businesses participate in the Third Tuesday's business connections of the Houston Citizens Chambers. Their power-packed business-networking events are geared toward providing a platform for small businesses networking and a chance to gain exposure. It's the perfect Houston event for customer prospecting, and the opportunity to present your products and services to small business owners in your target market.

The Business Connection is held on the third Tuesday of each month, at the Power Center, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Exhibitor booths are available.

How To Get The Most Out Of Networking

Never network only superficially. To avoid making this mistake make sure when you attend conferences and any networking group, that you don't just go around willy nilly collecting business cards without getting to know the person you are talking to first.

Make taking part in personal and group conversations, the primary goal at any Houston networking function. If you strive to have great conversations with other business professionals based on shared interests and interesting topics you stand a better chance that the other person will enjoy getting together again.
Then you can move the topic to something more substantial like how can we help each others business move to the next level.
