If you enjoy meeting people, sharing ideas, and discussing the South Carolina business horizons, you might check out the following networking events:

• Upstate Entrepreneur’s Forum - The Warehouse Theatre on Augusta road in downtown Greenville began hosting the UEF meetings earlier this month. Our last meeting was excellent. We discussed making the Upstate more entrepreneurial: how to attract more entrepreneurs, what could be done to increase innovation, what was needed from the city and community to increase entrepreneurial ventures. Paul Savas, our host, was very gracious to let us use the space. More information about our last meeting is available at the Upstate Entrepreneur’s Forum web site.
• Networking Underground - Hosted at Greenville downtown’s Coffee Underground, Networking Underground meets monthly and centers around free and friendly networking. The last meeting was the 18th, and I enjoyed meeting a couple sales reps, a youth worker, and a financial strategist. Next month’s meeting (August 22nd at 7:30 am) will be the fourth in the series, and should prove to have an even larger gathering.
