Informal Business Networking in Abu Dhabi
Hi folks
I used to run an informal coffee morning networking group in Dubai and would like to start up something in Abu Dhabi.
Basically I am looking anyone who can spare 30-40 minutes on a sunday or monday morning to meet and chat with professionals from various industries with the view of making contacts for both social and business ties.
Initially I intend to use one of the coffee shops in Abu Dhabi mall (and I'll pay your coffee if you are job hunting or new to the country)...
...if anyone is interested let me know so I can get an idea of how many and make sure we don't have lots of people in the same field.
Cheers
Norm

Re: Informal Business Networking in Abu Dhabi
Thanks for the positive and quick response everyone.
I will have a look at some venues...as it's very informal to start I think Mugg and Bean or somewhere like that will suffice so I'll pop in there during the week and see when they open and if they are happy for us to spend money in their establishment
Am going to put Sunday 30th in the early AM in my diary - I'll confirm the exact time and PM everyone in the coming days.
Looking forward to meeting some new faces

Norm,
A great idea and something I would be very interested in attending when I finally get a job in Dubai. Hopefully within the next 3 or 4 months( or sooner).
This sort of networking is worth 30 or 40 minutes of anyones time.

Re: Informal Business Networking in Abu Dhabi
Thanks again everyone for the postive response and encouraging PM's.
We're on for next Sunday, 30th April 2008 in Mugg and Bean, Abu Dhabi Mall. In my typically busy fashion I haven't checked their opening times but I am looking for an 8am start unless everyone sends me hate mail because that's too early!
Thoughts folks )
