This BBC Friday we will hold a very special business strategy roundtable for our wonderful hosts OfficeXpats. We will begin by considering: How Is OfficeXpats A “Clubhouse For Business”?

Questions: What business support activities do you need help with in growing your business? What opportunities for new groups, meetings and activities that support Kitsap small businesses haven’t yet been tried or implemented at OfficeXpats? Would you be interested in starting and/or running one of them as an experiment? Tuesdays, evenings, and weekends are all times that OfficeXpats would consider sponsoring meetings or classes that support the business community.

So join in on this fun and important discussion. Come prepared to share ideas, learn from one another, and support our marvelous, brilliant, extraordinary coworking community! Be prepared to think serendipitously and strategize strategically.

Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all businesswise!

So, invite your friends and associates to join us for this exciting non-virtual non-cloud event in real time and real space … and another delicious cup of BBC!
