The event, held during Enterprise Week was sponsored by BlackBerry and Microsoft and supported by Make Your Mark.
Business Scene’s Managing Director Warren Cass received a warm response from both main sponsors Microsoft and Blackberry and the exhibitors he spoke to.
Debbie McMahon, Blackberry, said, "This has been a great opportunity to showcase the commercial and operational benefits of business mobilisation. All businesses are looking for opportunities to be more competitive and successful – the BlackBerry solution allows you to do this."
Nick Davies, Microsoft said, "There has been a really good buzz tonight. Even in these tough economic times, the atmosphere and energy has been impressive. We have met a wide range of businesses, from people interested in solutions for their home office, to companies wanting to know how technology can help them compete and manage costs."
It was also supported by Make Your Mark Enterprise Week.

Many people had attended the inaugural event earlier in the year at the Connaught Rooms. They felt that having this second London Connections in Enterprise Week was perfect. The venue, the room layout and the speakers were excellent.
Many attendees expressed their satisfaction with the venue, the range of exhibitors, the short but good speeches and the buzz that was very evident.

Mike Southon - The Beermat Entrepreneur set the scene, warmed us up and hosted the evening. He gave us two pieces of advice for the current economic climate:
1. Cash is king, make sure you always have some.
2. Its best to sell safe stuff to existing customers. Don't experiment.
The speakers for the evening were Mark Prisk MP Shadow Minister for Enterprise and Lisa Gosling of Daisy's Dog Deli.
The photographs and interviews show that Business Scene met our intention of hosting a fantastic opportunity to meet other high calibre business delegates. They openly networked in a relaxed and friendly environment, built strong business relationships and gained valuable information about the issues that most affected their businesses.
Please see the event booking page which has links to all the people who registered. You will need to register with Business Scene to see this information.
Our sponsors, partners and exhibitors were exposed to approximately 500 people during the evening. You can tell from quotes like this "These were active business people not start ups" and "This was a great opportunity to educate the market" that they benefited enormously from the evening.

Watch out for future events like this on the Business Scene web site.
