Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival

The purpose of Chocolate Blues is to bring decision makers together in a fun and productive environment.  Our goal is to grow your professional network and to connect you with hundreds of like minded professionals in one day.  Chocolate Blues features a business expo, open networking, door prizes, on the spot appointment setting, ice breakers, networking games, round table workshops, a giant business card exchange, business coaching, brainstorming circles, book signings, media mixers, blues music and of course, chocolate treats!


Hundreds, sometimes thousands of people attend our events.  The size of Chocolate Blues varies from city to city.  Some of our events draw a crowd of 500-800 professionals.  Others draw a larger crowd of 1,000-1,500 and some of our events have had more than 2,500 attendees!  Our largest event to date we had 2,730 in attendance!  No matter what the size of the event, Chocolate Blues™ is NEVER LACKING in high-quality, SOLID business connections.
