Name: Executive Networking & Technology Group - ExecTec of LA
Review: Each dinner has a different topic and "everyone participates in a round table discussion." Last week I attended for the first time. While there was only three of us, the previous week Joel Ordesky, the organizer, had about 20 and it averages upwards of ten. The conversation was unstructured, and in and around the topic that week "Let's Innovate." We were there for about 2 hrs. This isn't the standard meet-as-many-people-as-you-can networking event; it's about deep biz/tec conversations and making good connection. Dress is business casual. Included in the price you get a soft drink, and choice of appetizer and meal from a fixed menu; the food was fair.
