I'm an independent business consultant who reaches our to C- and President-level professionals in small to mid-sized company. I've many times considered holding a regular networking event. However, I am reluctant. What draws this crowd? What advice would you have specifically for getting high-level professionals like this together (and keeping other people like me - those who target those professionals - out)? I've been to many, many events, but rarely do I find my target market at them. Any advice, especially anecdotes, would be greatly appreciated. Monika – Great quick, highly practical overview.
