Silicon
Alley Entrepreneurs Club Hosts Successful Business Networking
Mega-Event
Technology
and Media Professionals Gather in New York City for Evening of
Give and Take
NEW
YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 23, 2001--The Silicon Alley Entrepreneurs
Club (SAEC), the New York City-based networking group for technology
and media professionals, executives, investors and entrepreneurs,
today announced a turnout of more than 250 attendees for its May
8th `mega-event' at the Carnegie Hill Brewing Company. ``The turnout
was impressive,'' said Gyan Parida, founder and president of SAEC,
``and included mostly CEOs, senior executives and investors of
the New York City area.''
``The
get-together,'' continued Parida, ``provided an excellent opportunity
for all parties to exchange ideas and make some real business
deals happen. To expedite guests' ability to make the right connections,
we introduced a Bulls Eye Networking strategy - a `red dot, green
dot' concept that identified people who needed resources as well
as those who could provide resources - this was widely accepted
by attendees. At future events we plan to put additional mechanisms
in place to further encourage productive business interaction.''
Tony
Politano, CEO of MIS AG shared,
``The Silicon Alley Entrepreneurs Club event was very worthwhile
for us - it opened up several new business opportunities that
would have previously taken quite some time to accelerate if we
didn't have the chance to meet these companies at SAEC.''
SAEC's
programs' Bulls Eye Networking (BEN), Straight Talk (ST), Entrepreneurs
Advisory Program (EAP) and Business Defense Program (BDP) were
discussed in greater detail at the event. SAEC's next free monthly
event will be announced shortly and an attendance of over 400
members is anticipated.
