How to Do Biz with ATL's Sports Teams @ Underground ATL
THU AUG 15 4:30p

CorpNet - a division of SalesRepCentral - has been formed to be a resource for the sales and marketing community and designed to foster valuable relationships in a unique networking environment where commerce begins and significant information is exchanged.

Our next event is august 15th and will be held at The Event Loft at Underground Atlanta - an upscale city venue that encompasses the exciting urban feel of "Loft Entertaining". In addition to four cozy balconies overlooking Historic Kenny's Alley, a beautifully bricked veranda offers a magnificent view of the downtown cityscape.

Come out and meet Todd Sumney, VP of Marketing for SalesRepCentral. Todd was scheduled to attend our July event, but was held against his will on the beach in San Diego. Great excuse for avoiding the heat and humidity of Atlanta in July! Todd will offer insights as to how YOU can benefit from your CorpNet relationship in the business community and the extended reach that can be leveraged using the SalesRepCentral community. It's an opportunity to meet local SREP members and expand your prospect list.

The discussion group features a panel of executives from the Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Thrashers, Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Beat. The topic for the panel is "How to do Business with Atlanta's Sports Teams." This event will be co-sponsored by downtownATL: Social Crew (http://www.socialcrew.com). We expect over 200 folks to attend this exciting kick-off event.

The panel consists of:
Derek Schiller, VP of Marketing - Atlanta Thrashers
Dexter Santos, VP of Marketing - Atlanta Hawks
Mark Furman, VP of Marketing - Atlanta Falcons
Sabrina Jenkins, Director of Special Events - Atlanta Braves

Dick Sullivan - EVP of Marketing, for the "new" Atlanta Falcons is going to speak
following the panel. Dick is the genius behind the Home Depot brand and marketing strategy.
