Join us for Networking BINGO on Aug 18, 7:30-9am!
Are you looking to build your business network in a professional AND fun atmosphere? Join the CYP CLUB for our monthly Coffee Shot™ Series - always hosted on the third Wednesday of the month, with a new networking activity or presentation each month. This month's activity is Networking BINGO!

What is Networking BINGO? This is an activity that helps members get to know each other a little better and network a little easier. Everyone will receive a BINGO card when they check in with a set time period to meet as many people as you can to try to get a BINGO. Attendees must get other members to initial each box (each person can only initial one box) depending upon what is asked in each BINGO box. For example, "Find someone in the financial industry," or "Find someone who has lived in Columbus their entire life." This continues until three people call "BINGO." The first person to get a confirmed "BINGO" will win a special prize. REGISTER NOW.
