SFAMA Networking on THE NINES | August 29

Dada 86 Second Street, San Francisco, CA, United States

Each year, the SFAMA hosts several mixers for our community. The goal is to provide quality connections for our community among the most influential professionals in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We thank you for your input and are pleased to announce the SFAMA networking on “THE NINES.” THE NINES was an idea that came from discussions and input from you, our members and friends. Many of you have asked us to hold these social mixer events monthly and from this, the idea of math and marketing was born. Every month, THE NINES mixer takes place when the number equals nine. THE NINES date is a mathematical equation involving addition, subtraction, division and multiplication; sometimes there are months where THE NINES math is easy; other times we’ll have to explain it to you. But, rest assured, every month, we’ll meet on THE NINES. We look forward to meeting with you—our members and friends, some of you we know and some we’ll meet for the first time. Look for THE NINES announcement on our website. The location and theme may vary, but the quality of the connections you’ll make at THE NINES will not—top-level professionals and influencers.
