Speed Networking for Business

Lauren Ebensteiner • Apr 16, 2024

If you're going to attend one networking event this year, make it this one!

Save the date and join the chamber on May 21st for our first Speed Networking Event with keynote speaker, Lisa Even! The event will be held at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church (720 Orchard Hills Drive, Norwalk) from 2 -4 p.m. and registration can be found on the chamber’s website. We’re excited to open this event up to all members of the community and encourage our chamber members to take advantage of discounted registration exclusive to NACC.


This event will be a great opportunity to meet other individuals who are looking to connect professionally to explore potential collaborations, exchange business ideas, seek career opportunities, or simply expand one's professional network. We recognize that networking can be intimidating, so each pair will be given prompts and questions to help break the ice and encourage more meaningful connections.


Our event facilitator and speaker, Lisa Even, is an Entrepreneur, Speaker, Author, and JOY Connoisseur. The name of her podcast is Have Good Ripple Effect, and the name of her book is Joy is My Job, and that’s her overall approach to life! Whether it’s through coaching, podcasts or her speaking and training, Lisa helps challenge people to think beyond their backyards, and realize that they happen to the world, and not the other way around. From waitressing at the R&R Café in high school, to leading her first group of direct reports in corporate America, raising a family, or being part of her community, Lisa understands the pressure we have when cultivating a life that has lasting impact. She brings authentic connection, energy, and real-life experiences, stories, and strategies to any room, while inspiring audiences to dream bigger and create bigger and better ripple effects!
