PartnerTrack II Networking Event
Our second PartnerTrack event was a wonderful time. Again we had a fine turnout of accomplished urbanite entrepreneurs, businesspeople, various professionals from New York's rich Public Relations community, and the attorneys of NYCLA. GSTAAD was urban zen; mixed drinks between wide open industrial spaces laced with cozy corners. While we made certain that contacts and ideas were exchange, our guests took well to our encouragement to simply have a good time. We look forward to our next event and hope that you all can join us.
