BNC International invites you to its next COSMOPOLITAN network luncheon event.
BNC International is a diverse group of multi-cultural, multi-industry professionals joining together to facilitate mutually beneficial relationships and enterprises. We believe that there are vast fortunes to be made through networking with Chicago's large number of cosmopolitan executives, expatriates, international business students and faculties, global entrepreneurs, international chamber of commerce and cultural center members.
Fortunately, due to the cosmopolitan nature of our events, it's not uncommon to have an opportunity to communicate with other attendees in as many as 14 different foreign languages.
Obviously, don't forget to bring with you (2) dozens or more of your business cards or hand bills. Share them with the other attendees who you desire to contact after the event. This is a networking event.
Topic: 400 Years Quebec-City and the francophonie in America. Did you ever wonder why there are places named like Joliet, LaSalle, Des Plaines, Eau Claire, La Grange, Fond de Lac or La Crosse?
Speaker: Mr. Marc Boucher, U.S. Midwest Offices, Governement du Quebec (Canada). Marc's ancestors settled in the early 1600's just south of Montreal. Rest assured, he has a great story to tell us in English. Questions and answers can be done in English and French.
