Connecting Through the Local Business Community

Bethlehem, PA, August 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A Lehigh Valley-based referral group hosted its first annual trade fair and mixer at Candlelight Reception and Conference Center in Bethlehem on August 12. There was a constant energy and buzz on the trade fair floor as over 90 attendees visited with the 22 exhibitors. The exhibitors represented all of ReferralWeb's 6 chapters across the Lehigh Valley and Carbon County. The ReferralWeb trade fair featured the products and services of its members and provided a venue for local business owners to network with each other. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and both attendees and exhibitors were eager for the next ReferralWeb trade fair.

Attendees were also given the opportunity to attend the August Lehigh Valley Tweetup and a seminar sponsored by Be the Bee Social Media Consulting. Both were both held at the same location and time period.

The trade fair and mixer were sponsored by: Valley IT Solutions LLC, Sovereign Bank, Swift Print Solutions LLC, Talent Management Business Solutions LLC, TIW Technologies LLC, Valley Wide Shoes, Harding's Wealth Managers, Kneading Hands Massage, Lehigh Valley Easy Pages, Matson Contracting, and Northeast Drug Test Consultants. Entertainment was provided by Jonathan Asbath a local musician and ReferralWeb member. Printing services were provided by Swift Print Solutions LLC.
