GTApreneurs has been hosting business networking events for 6 years, starting in 2019 before covid. That’s a time we will all remember. As devasting as covid was, it brought many entrepreneurs and small business owners, who may have never met each other otherwise, together as we started offering our business networking events over video call. Increased comfort and use of video call platforms helped to increase business for our network, as we could all have back-to-back meetings, instead of spending lots of time travelling to and from appointments.
