The Westcoast International Networking Klub (WINK), powered by Westcoast German News and founded by Elke Porter, is excited to announce a rescheduled date and enhanced programming for its upcoming virtual event. Originally planned for Wednesday, May 28, the event will now take place on Tuesday, June 3, to accommodate Elke Porter’s participation in the prestigious Web Summit as an accredited media representative.
This adjustment comes with an exciting addition: a special early-morning global networking session at 7 AM Pacific / 3 PM London time. Hosted in collaboration with HBBA Global and the World Referral Network (WRN), this new component brings together industrialists, bankers, and entrepreneurs from Canada, the UK, and Europe to explore trade opportunities beyond the US.
Join us on June 3 at 7 AM Pacific for this free online summit, where we will also launch a bimonthly international networking series uniting HBBA communities from the UK, Hungary, and Canada. Whether you're a business owner, startup founder, or global-minded professional, this is your chance to introduce yourself, make international connections, and uncover new opportunities.
