Introduction to the Gay Professional Network

I know what you are thinking when someone say "Networking", you think about these event

where no one has time to discuss with everyone, where it is difficult to talk to each others, where

there are too many people or the music is so loud that you cannot speak or even hear what people say.

Where the relationship are not primarily professional and these events don't bring you anything.

And if you are one of these people who like me do not want to associate networking with

that then I suggest you to discover our networking events, because they are completely

different!

How? Because I, Jean-François Dor, have put myself in your place, I provide

you with an individual badge with your name and what you do (as oppose to title or company name)

to facilitate contact with other. My events bring together a group of people between 10 and 30 people

to enable you to talk with everyone. 

I also do not allow people to be on their own and will introduce you to people of interest to you. You will feel welcomed, relaxed and at ease in our company.

You also have the opportunity to speak to all and be able to talk briefly about your business.

It is very important to me that the meeting takes place in a very relax atmosphere, for

that I chose different venues who respond at these criteria.

My priority is not to make profit but to allow YOU to broaden your professional relations

and allow you to develop your business.

Now the only thing that you can do is to come to my events to discover by yourself !!!
