Convivium (kən-vĭv- ēəm) n. Latin root for “Convivial” “Sociable, festive, jovial: fond of being in good company”
You’re young, hip, sexy, maybe a year or two out of college… and in the business world. You go to a networking event (maybe one you found on The San Diego Networking Guide) and think…”Most of these people are in their 40’s & 50’s! I want to network and Party! Where do I go???” Convivium!
Eric Berman, President of Convivum, summed it up in an email to me:
“The group was created because I saw a lot of people in the social scene that were also “hip/upscale young professionals” (who) didn’t have a coordinated outlet for business networking and reciprocally, those that were focused on their career didn’t have time to focus on how to manage their social calendars as well. Therefore, we brought both together. As you leave school, you are constantly (trying) to build your network for both business and friendships, etc. We aim to facilitate that process in a fun and meaningful way. People feel very comfortable being a part of our group and automatically have a connection with others which opens the door to whatever!!!”
On the website it says “At The Convivium it is okay to “mix business with pleasure!” Membership includes VIP treatment at San Diego’s hottest clubs and restaurants.
I’ll let others review future events…I would not want to be accused of being anyone’s mother!!
