This is a member’s only event.

The DSBC 6-Top Mingle is designed to provide a valuable platform for networking with fellow small businesses. These events offer an intimate setting with a maximum of six participants per table, creating an ideal environment for meaningful conversations and building long-lasting connections.
 
At each 6-Top Mingle, you will have the opportunity to showcase your products and services, while also hearing from other like-minded professionals who are not in direct competition with you. The structure of these events allows each participant to speak for 10-15 minutes, ensuring that everyone has equal time to talk about their company and engage with the group.
 
The benefits of attending 6-Top Mingles go beyond the event itself. By forging relationships with other business people, you can establish a dynamic sales team that mutually promotes and supports each other's businesses. The connections made at these events can be invaluable for growing your network and expanding your reach in the business community.
 
Please note the following guidelines for attending the 6-Top Mingle events:

1. Only one person per company may attend the 6-Tops.
2. Restaurants may not be familiar with the term "6-Top," so kindly inform them that you are waiting for up to five other people.
3. We offer multiple time options for the 6-Top Mingles, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner gatherings. Members may choose to attend one event per month, either upstate or downstate.
4. Each group may select a “time-keeper” so that no one person should dominate the conversation and everyone should have equal time to speak

 
To ensure the success of these events, we kindly ask all attendees to be punctual and honor their commitment to attend. If you are running more than 15 minutes late or unable to attend, please contact the Chamber at 302-482-2120 as soon as possible. There is a $10 fee for any member who is late or a no-show without prior contact, as we want to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of these networking opportunities.

The Delaware Small Business Chamber invites you to a unique and engaging networking event - the 60-Second Networking. 
Prepare for an exciting opportunity to connect with fellow small business owners in multiple ways. This event, inspired by the concept of speed dating, allows you to rotate through various pairs, giving each participant 60 seconds to present their "elevator pitch." By the end of the event, you'll have interacted with up to 23 other passionate and driven business professionals.

But that's not all! This event is designed to provide an enriching experience from start to finish. Join us between 8:30 and 8:45 am to kick-start the networking session with some delicious breakfast goodies and beverages. This will allow you to mingle and establish connections before the program begins promptly at 9:00 am.  You will have time afterward to continue your networking with specific attendees.  

To ensure a diverse and dynamic networking environment, we are limiting participation to a maximum of two individuals from the same category. Don't miss out – sign up online today to secure your spot!
