People do business with people and making those connections is crucial to building a business network. The McKinney Chamber offers you several options to help you begin that networking process to build the strong relationships necessary for your business success.
LINKS Business Networking
Expand your network by joining more than 100 businesses each week for the opportunity to share your products and services. Join us every Wednesday for a light breakfast and heavy networking from 7:30 a.m. – 9 a.m. at Saltgrass Steakhouse at the corner of Hwy 75 & Eldorado Parkway. Bring $1 and lots of business cards, your business card will randomly be drawn during the meeting to give a 30 second commercial about your business!
