Highland Park, IL, February 6, 2011 – The Breakfast of Champions (BOC) returned this January to start another great year of networking meetings. Larry Bloom, President of ATI Graphics, Inc. and BOC leader since Fall 2010, gathered dozens of area businesspeople for a morning of connecting and sharing over breakfast on Friday, January 28, 2011.
The Breakfast of Champions (BOC) is a Chicagoland-based group dedicated to building valuable relationships through quality networking. The BOC prides itself as a group that is not about collecting business cards and turning members into leads. It focuses on creating trusted connections and ultimately, long-term professional relationships.
"The BOC has been a well attended and well regarded networking event for some time, and there were some big networking shoes to fill. But, I was determined to inject new energy into the event and bring in many new faces," says Bloom. "Most importantly, I want to continue with the original philosophy of the BOC, to bring quality networkers together in a comfortable, convenient venue so connections can be made and information shared," added Bloom.

Co-founder of the popular BizNetExpo networking events held in 2009 and 2010, Bloom's goal is to facilitate events from which all attendees leave with something of value — a new connection or information — and the knowledge that a roomful of fellow networkers are now advocates for each other.
"The feedback from the January meeting has been extremely positive," says Bloom. "Attendance was excellent and the networking vibe couldn't have been better!"
