NYEBNers are going to Broadway Comedy Club! You may have heard about this place featuring stand-up comics from David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, etc., but what you don't know perhaps is that they also have great networking venues. Why do we call it "Small is the New Big" Networking Reception? Read more to find out....
1). What is the theme?
Business oriented. Let's keep it focused on the "Entrepreneur Topic" this time. Please make sure you have a business, represent an industry, or at least have some entrepreneurial ideas to share with your fellow NYEBNers at this meeting.
2) How is it scheduled?
6 - 7 pm: Open Networking
7 - 8 pm: 30-second Pitch Opportunities for Everybody
8 - 9:30 pm: Focused Networking
3) How Much Does It Cost?
$5 if you prepay, or $10 at the entry
4) What Do We Have for You?
This time, we will have all name tags pre-printed and have them arranged alphabetically at the door. The name tag will show your names and the industry that you represent. So please tell us your first name and your industry when you RSVP. Also we will get some cheese and light desserts for everybody (smile)
5) Why "Small is the New Big?"
It originally comes from Seth Godin's book "Small is the New Big," meaning we can profit the most only if we focus on the niche areas in this high tech era. We use it here because we are going from 400 people rooftop party back to 100 people traditional networking reception. Again, a small amount of people allows us to focus better, not mention to the 30-second pitch opportunity for everybody.
6) Extra note
Personally I want to thank those of you who have offered your sincere suggestions which we have implemented to improve the quality of this event. So this time, there is no music involved. The setup is intended for you to focus on your conversations. I will make sure we have sufficient light for everybody as well. Any other questions? Feel free to contact me or any of the assistant organizers.

“ I loved being able to share with others what I do no matter how scary and nerve racking it was. To be in front of strangers (and some new friends) with lights blinding me was a nice challenged but I'd like the "Small Is the New Big" have a setting that is laid out differently. ” -
“ Great! Got to meet some wonderful people who were sincerely interested in helping and supporting each other in their businesses. Andrew Ran Wong is a great guy. Thanks Andrew! ” -
“ Very good venue and very friendly group of people. There were too many people from the same industry in some cases. ” -
“ I liked the format of starting with open networking, then the 30 second pitch, then more open networking. That enabled some relationships to form in the beginning of the meeting. Then after the pitch, there was an ability to target individuals with common interests. My only suggestion would be to somehow (not sure how this would work) to distribute business cards as each person was giving the pitch. (By the end of the presentations, it was difficut to remember some of the earlier presenters). My only other suggestion would be to provide attendees with the contact information of all who attended. ” -
“ The networking event was great, a lot of interesting people and a good program. One thing though was a bit unfortunate and uncomfortable to many memebers. - Each and every one had the oppertunity to stand up and give a 30 seconds presenation of themselfes and their profession. I had really been looking forward to hear about the others members and sharing about myself and my ideas, but the presentation-spot with a microphone, on a stage and with sharp lights blinding, caused a great deal of nervousness and discomfort for most contributers. But actually that was a great experience for me, as Im starting up giving seminars and workshops in how to perform when giving presentations. I spotted a lot of potential clients and got reasured that performance-lessons are in deed needed. - Metteliva ” -
“ Great event, did some solid networking and really enjoyed the venue. ” -
Susan Risdal (+2 guests)“ Excellent group. I liked the 30-second blurb about our various companies. Our group is much more diverse than I realized. ” -
“ Great event! Andrew, thank you for the opportunity to talk with business people. ” -
