Testimonials

“I attend many networking events around Grand Rapids, and Grand Rapids Business Breakfast is among my top 3. The greeting is welcoming and friendly; the networking time is relaxed and productive; and the speakers, sharp and topics, relevant. The lightening round of introductions before the speaker begins helps me identify those in the room that I wish to meet. It appears to me that the people drawn to the GR Business Breakfast have similar expectations and enjoy one-on-one interactions after the speaker has finished. There is conversation around the speaker’s topic and around individual businesses. I always leave with good take-aways and great connections! I highly recommend this group!”
