Globinar Global Chamber® New York City: Discover Your Ideal Power Partners
Next-Level Networking Strategy to Identify Strategic Referral Sources and Collaborators

Monday, September 8th at 5pm ET / 2pm PT / 10pm London

Melanie Fox, Founder Speech Fox with our Executive Director NYC Susan Assadi will lead this event to continue our path for 2025 for the NYC Chapter: to connect high-performing CEOs and executives with opportunities to collaborate and grow their businesses globally.

Participants will walk away with a clear, strategic profile of their Ideal Power Partners—professionals who serve the same clients but aren’t competitors—so they can grow their network intentionally, build stronger referral relationships, and uncover new collaboration opportunities.

Join this dynamic community of NYC members to lead our initiatives moving forward. Come hear about our innovative and diverse businesses based in the New York City area. Members will learn how this chapter can serve as a launchpad for national and multinational success.
