The Chocolate Business Networking Showcase series was brought to
Tucson by Wayne Weld of Tucson Business Connection. This is our 2nd
year of hosting this 1 Day-Mega Networking Event. Last year we held
Chocolate Country and featured 3 local Country Music performers. This
year we bring you Chocolate Jazz. We will again feature local performers.
The number of Vendors at our Business Expo will be limited to 80
Businesses. Information can be found on our Business Expo Page. We
are expecting over 1000 Business People to attend this year's event. Be
sure to visit our Sponsorship Page for information on our sponsors. We
also have pictures of past events posted on our Pictures Page. Funds from
the event will benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We will be
having a silent auction in addition to the FREE raffle prizes. There will be a
$10 suggested charity donation at the door. We hope everyone comes out
to The Doubletree at Reid Park on Tuesday, November 16th.

Tucson Business Connection has been offering Tucson Area Business People a monthly opportunity to network with
each other in a social environment without having to belong to a membership organization since 2003. Still today,
there are no dues, fees or association affiliations required to attend one of our mixers. Most mixers have an average
of 75 attendees. TBC is not a membership organization. Any Business person is welcome to attend. In addition to the
free monthly mixers, we hold occasional events for Charity where there might be a nominal fee to attend. Currently,
TBC is hosted by Will Arnold of FixMyBadHomeLoan.org, and Wayne Weld of SendOutCards.com/LTD. Regular
Monthly Mixers are held from 5:00pm-7:30pm on the 1st Wednesday of every month at Pearl, 445 W. Wetmore Rd.,
on the South West corner, behind the CVS Pharmacy.
Tucson Business Connection was the 1st of it's kind in Tucson. There are many other networking opportunities that
are held monthly in Tucson, but TBC Events remain the most popular and productive Independent Mixer. Our Social
Networking sites offer our Group Attendees to post information about their company. On our Resources page, we
offer the opportunity for Businesses to have a link to their website. FOR FREE! While we have sponsorship
opportunities, our Members will never be asked to "Upgrade to a Premium Membership". Our regular events as well
as our business listings have always been and will always be Free. In the future, TBC will be starting an East Side
Event as well as Networking Groups.

Will's efforts have been written about in the Daily Star on several occasions and was even covered on a couple of
local TV News channels. He has been holding these networking mixers for over 5 years. "I enjoy connecting
businesses together. Our events offer an opportunity for small businesses to network with each other in a social
setting without having to pay membership fees, entry fees, etc."
