UPDATE
The event was a huge success! We had over 150+ guests with different backgrounds. I met entrepreneurs, graphic designers, engineers, doctors, financial analysts, people looking for a job, memory champion, caterers, etc.
Also, many raffle tickets were given by the very own guests including free t-shirts, drug tests, financial advise, VIP tickets to parties, indoor skydiving tickets, etc.
The Box was a great venue to host this event and we hope that we continue to host these types of events for our members in the future!

We are two blocks from the Civic Center BART stop at 7th and Market.
you got me with this location, sounds historically beautiful and a must-see! Oh, and the networking always comes in handy too! Will RSVP shortly.
I haven’t been a member for very long but I was hoping and waiting for this type of event.
Beautiful event, food was excellent as advertised. Vendors were an interesting added twist, and contributed greatly to the ambiance. Let’s see, I got to:
- talk shop with LAM Comadres, instead of just social chatting, always interesting!
- obtain event info about latin culture/promotion/volunteerism… passions I share with others
- find possible resource for a future home remodel/interior design!
Not bad, considering I’m terrible about walking up and introducing myself to strangers.
This event was amazing!! Great food, music and people!!
It was nice to see familiar faces and to make new connections. I even have some promising leads on my freelance business!! A lot of women were interested in finding out about LAM Comadres and I made sure to get their contact information because we want to get them involved.
Plus don’t forget the great prizes. I know some people won 1 hour free consultation for Financial services. Another person won tickets to iFly (indoor skydiving) and many more…
Such a great way to meet new people and make useful connections. It is always nice to see friends and talk about fun but it was also very cool to hear your ideas, plans, wishes, and projects!
This was an excellent networking event. There was great food, great music, and top-notch professionals to network with. I’ve been very impressed with LAM thus far and look forward to attending more events in the future.
Great event! I usually go to 5-10 events a week but I can alway count on LAM to rise the bar. Great idea teaming up with Cesar Plata – he has group dynamics down to an art form. Furthermore, the location was optimal – large space to walk around and chit chat. People at LAM are crazy nice as well – easy to network with and willing to speak to you.
Quick recommendation: It would be great have some LAM ambassadors walking around and introducing people to each other (preferably people that do not know each other). Just like Gina Miranda stated above, some people need a small introduction to get their networking mojo on.
It was great to meet so many people in so many different fields! Mark, the owner of the box was an amazing guy that was genuinely interested in helping people network. We are definitely not missing out his class this Monday night from 6-9
Great event. This event comes to show that LAM has most well rounded members around! I was impressed with the professionalism of the event and location. Keep it up with events like this!
Great evening with great people at a great venue! I had a blast and met a really diverse group of professionals. The great majority of people were very approachable and chatty, without being pushy. Plus the size of the venue was ideal for an event like this: big enough to accommodate over 150 people but small enough so that it still felt cozy. Please keep event like this coming!
