"Ugh! Not another ZOOM Meeting!"

Dear Ambitious NoVA Small Business Owner or Sales Professional,

This is NOT your father's networking event.
(To be fair, your father probably didn't network on ZOOM.)

But this isn't even your father's ZOOM networking event.

This is the Coolest Networking Event / Conference / Business Hangout / Masterminding Event of the Summer...all from the COMFORT of your own home!

It's what happens when you take...
- A Networking EXHIBIT HALL
- SPEED NETWORKING and CONNECTIONS
- Artificial Intelligence-Assisted MATCHMAKING
- AWESOME Speakers and Workshops
- TRIVIA CHALLENGES
...and add 150 of the smartest, most ambitious small business owners in NoVA...

and bring them all together to connect with each other and help fund- and friend raise to support young community entrepreneurs.

It's like an Explosion of AWESOME!
(note to self - check GoDaddy for AweSplosion.com).

In fact, this event is my opportunity each year to ONE UP the last "Networking For Good" event - to invite NEW people, to attract NEW Speakers, to add NEW activities and features to help people connect in deeper, wider, cooler ways.

For an entrepreneur/innovator, this is the most wonderfullest time of the year!!!

So let's get a few things out of the way.

# 1 - This event is FREE (at least until the Early Bird Deadline passes or we hit 150 RSVPs).

# 2 - This event is for YOU - to learn, to connect, to promote your business.

# 3 - This event is meant to make you happy and to turn you into a raving fan and evangelist for Fort Hunt University and our NoVA Business is Good Network. (If we do THAT, we all win).

"But why should I care, Frazier?"

Why should you add yourself to the list, and then make sure you're there (online) on Aug 14th?

Because You NEED and WANT new clients.

You know contact and connections EQUAL more clients and you want more opportunities to develop your network.

Or you KNOW contacts and connections equal more clients but you DON'T HAVE THE TIME to network.

Or you don't want to invest hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours in networking.

Or you're just shy.

Or you don't know what to say.

Or you have deep seated insecurities and you think you're boring and no one wants to listen to you.

You may be right

(about all of other stuff...Not the "you're boring" thing. I think you're fascinating).

So who are we inviting?

Who will be THERE for you to connect with?

Real Estate Agents - Title Companies - Financial Advisors - Pet Trainers - Painters - Landscape Architects - App Designers - Digital Marketing Specialists - Bankers - Government Contractors - Business Coaches - Martial Arts Studios - Property & Casualty Insurance Agents - CPAs - General Contractors - Home Inspectors - Mortgage Lenders - Physical Therapists - Personal Trainers - Commercial Real Estate Agents - B2B Specialists - Architects - Attorneys - Organizational Consultans - Marketing/Communications Companies - Media - Benefits Consultants - Home Services - Flooring - New Media Experts - Chamber Directors - Elected Officials - Business Finance

Enough people for you to achieve your 2020 goals in one awesome swoop.

But that's not the best part...



The best part is that you won't be alone in that crowd.

Between NOW and the event, my crack team of Artificially Intelligent Minions are going to spend every minute learning about you, boosting you, and connecting you in advance.

Getting questions answered.

Updating your Networking Profile.

Finding common ground and common interests.

Sharpening your Elevator Pitch.

Surfacing undiscovered connections.

Capturing and Promoting your Networking Intro on Video!

All so that, on August 14th, you'll be compelled to SHOUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS...

"This was the greatest Networking Event of my LIFE!!!!"

And maybe become an FHU Business Booster and tell a friend. (a girl can dream, right?)

So here's what you should do now...

That's all I got for you, Kid.

Check out the event shedule, the list of speaker and resources and let's get you on that list so that you're plugged in between now and the "Networking For Good Event"!
