PRESS RELEASE – For Immediate Distribution

Effective: July 3, 2012

On September 19, 2012, Patchogue Long Island proudly joins major cities such as Dallas, Houston, Pittsburg, Tampa, Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Denver, Memphis, St. Louis, Nashville and many others throughout the United States, as host for the wildly popular and highly successful Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival! Now in its 9th year and currently in 50 major cities!

The Village of Patchogue was selected after an extensive search across Long Island for the best environment to launch “Long Island Chocolate Blues”.  Patchogue’s growing music entertainment culture, and strong vision in support of business, community and long-term relationships makes it the best on Long Island from which to launch the first ever “Chocolate Blues” event in New York State!

What is a Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival?  "Chocolate Blues" is a giant business to business networking event that brings together hundreds of business owners and professionals.  This event features a business expo, open networking, door prizes, ice breakers, networking games, on the spot appointment setting, round table workshops, a giant business card exchange, business coaching, brainstorming circles, book signings, media mixers, blues background music and of course, chocolate treats!

We are one of the largest, most successful and longest running networking events in the country...Hundreds, sometimes thousands attend our events.  Our goal is usually 500-800 participants but sometimes our crowds are much larger. We have had as many as 2,730 people show up for a single networking event.  So plan for 500 and don't be surprised if we exceed your expectations. 

Experience makes the difference...We produced our first business event in 1989 and have hundreds of successful events to our credit.  We're currently in more than 40 cities and our events have resulted in thousands of connections and success stories for our clients.  

89 North” Music Venue was selected as the venue for Long Island Chocolate Blues because of the owners commitment to presenting the very finest of live musical entertainment, in a very special space created by musicians for musicians.
