This event is held in October each year.

CONNECT 4 LUNCH

One Good Connection Is Worth 1,000 Business Cards. Your Napa Chamber is providing you with an opportunity to meet other business people in a way that's different from any networking opportunity you may have experienced. It's called Connect 4 Lunch, and it's not about collecting and passing out business cards. It's about connecting with other business people in a relaxed setting, and forging professional relationships in a personal way.

When you enroll in a Connect 4 Lunch program, you will be invited each week to have lunch with three other business people. For a nominal fee — just a little more than what you'd leave for a tip — you can make up to 150 new personal connections over the course of a year: real connections that can lead to real results for your business.
