The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders invite those wishing to network and/or grow their business to attend the 2018 Union County Means Business Expo being held at the Warinanco Sports Center in Roselle on Wednesday, September 26 from 5 pm to 7:30 pm.
“The Business Expo is designed to help local attendees, businesses and entrepreneurs build their networks and create new opportunities to help make the most effective possible impact when it comes to outreach and economic growth,” said Freeholder Chairman Sergio Granados. “Whether you are participating as a vendor or an attendee, the Business Expo offers opportunities for all.”
The Expo enables attendees to network with other business leaders, and develop new contacts. The event also provides a chance for local businesses to showcase their products and services to attendees.
Registration is available now for individual attendees at ucnj.org/union-county-means-business.
Admission for attendees is free.
The Expo now features over 70 businesses within and outside Union County. The Expo features a wide range of businesses and entrepreneurs of every size and variety. The list includes: service providers, retailers, banks, insurance, real estate, technology, consulting, marketing, legal, accounting, health, education, nonprofits and government agencies. A variety of chambers of commerce are also attending along with municipal and county government representatives.
The Expo will feature team building demonstrations provided by the Warinanco Sports Center and the Learning Center at Galloping Hill. There will be an array of raffle prizes for attendees to win, not only at every exhibitor table but also Visa Gift Cards as a grand prize. There will also be a “passport/autograph” competition where if attendees get their program signed by every vendor, it enters them into a special contest.
The Expo also offers a complimentary food tasting featuring the event menu available at the Warinanco Sports Center. The menu includes: Roasted Pork Shoulder, Caribbean Rice with Pigeon Peas, Paella Valenciana, Boneless Chicken Wings, Thai Chili Sauce Swedish Meatballs, Mini Quesadillas, Pigs in a Blanket, Vegetable Quiche, Hummus with Pita Platters, and Crudités.
