Networking Events for NYC Medical, Pharmaceutical, and Biotechnology Professionals

The C Squared Group's New Networking Series

Over the course of the past six months of community building, The C Squared Group has received dozens of requests for the formation of new groups. Many of these are in the process of development.

One of the most frequent inquiries we have fielded was from our many friends in the medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries here in New York. In response, the C Squared Group is pleased to announce the launch of a new series of networking events geared for these professions.

Here is the latest:

1 – Launch of our “Contacts & Cocktails” Series -- Our launch event is scheduled for October 28th from 6pm-9pm at Porcão Rio's Churrascaria (360 Park Avenue South). We have the full private room for our group. The capacity is around 75. Full details are available at www.csquaredgroup.com.

2 – Call for Host Committee Members / Brand Ambassadors -- Although we do have substantial interest in this series already, we are actively looking to build our roster of host committee members / brand ambassadors. Host Committee Members / Brand Ambassadors are expected to (on a best efforts basis) attend each cocktail event, as well as assist with promotion and marketing. There are other perks that we are able to offer depending on level of involvement. Please email us at info@csquaredgroup.com if you are interested in getting involved or learning more about this opportunity.

3 – Content and Potential Sponsor Relationships – Over time, many of our groups evolve and a demand for content emerges. In addition, once the group reaches critical mass, there are various opportunities for potential sponsors. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@csquaredgroup.com with any thoughts on either of these topics.

We welcome any feedback you may have on this series and whether or not we need to further narrow the focus. All comments will be reviewed by a member of our team within 24 hours of being received.

Networking to find Jobs (not Steve)

One of the most frequently asked questions the C Squared Group receives is whether or not job seekers are welcome at our events.

Some thoughts on this topic:

1 – We at the C Squared Group have a deep appreciation for the challenges that job seekers face in the current market – And there are many ways we can help. However, in order to preserve the integrity and focus of our events, C Squared Group events are strictly closed to job seekers.

2 – The C Squared Group does look to verify employment status of all attendees at our events. This is an imperfect process due to the large number of events that we host. We do ask that all attendees respect these restrictions and we will make sure we continue to improve our screening processes. One way we are doing this is by building out our Host Committee and Brand Ambassador programs.

3 – We are actively developing out a platform to help promote compelling job opportunities to our large and growing audience of qualified professionals. If you are an employer looking to hire, a recruiter looking to promote your available positions, or a job seeker – Please contact us at info@csquaredgroup.com to discuss ways the C Squared Group can be of assistance.
