BBC Friday 16 October 2015 – The New XLR8 Kitsap & Cloning The BBC Model

Join us this Cheery Autumn BBC FRIDAY for a look at  the new Accelerate Kitsap West Sound Meta-Networking Business Resource & Support Organization, with BBC Regular Gary Welch.

logo-name-strip6_smXLR8 KITSAP has been developing its database web presence for: 1) a local networking groups directory, using the BBC model for Ad-hoc networking, and 2) a directory of individual networking group businesses, i.e. for us BBC Regulars (“members”).

The XLR8 website member directory will become an invaluable database of businesses throughout the West Sound. For us BBC Regulars (“members”), Gary will give a hands-on example of getting on the XLR8 member directory. There will be time for discussion of how BBC Members might eventually be invited to present at neighboring Networking groups around the West Sound, and visa-versa. It’s all formative, friendly, and … well, you know … FUN. So, yet another way to get connected – Get XLR8 BBC OXp (any other letters/numbers to add to this happy soup?) – Aloha!

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

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