The Schmooze is a monthly networking event focused on fostering relationships between professionals primarily in the hospitality and related service industries. Each month, The Schmooze takes place in one of Atlanta's hottest establishments. Join us as we gather to mix, mingle and sample some of Atlanta's best food and beverages.
It all began over a decade ago when Kenneth Jones of Dynami found himself constantly in the middle of connecting people to people and places. Having built a huge network through personal relationships in Atlanta, he realized the time had come to start linking all he knew.
Jones searched throughout Atlanta to find the right mix of networking events targeted to those in the hospitality and service industries and when he failed to find the right one, The Schmooze Atlanta (literally meaning, networking, making contacts and meeting people) was born.
Jones added more firepower to the Schmooze's growing success when he decided to link up with Suzanne Shaw Cashin of PennHouse Productions. Cashin has over 15 years of experience in sales and marketing for Atlanta's premier hotels, restaurants and nightlife venues. It was the perfect match – Jones’ understanding of individuals business and social networking needs with Cashin who had “her finger on the pulse of what is new and hot in this city.” Combining the talents of Jones and Cashin assures that each event features the highest quality in venue, food and guest list.
Perhaps one of the most important features of the Schmooze Atlanta is “the right guest list”. Together Jones and Cashin have brought together their years of being tapped into the social agendas of Atlanta's more mature, successful and professional population. These are the people who set the trends and can offer businesses both up front and residual results.
While true to its roots, today The Schmooze welcomes more than just hospitality and service professionals. So whether you want to see or be seen, the Schmooze is a must attend. For more information, please email Suzanne or visit TheSchmoozeAtlanta.com.
