Schneps Communications and Star Network will host the second annual Kings of Staten Island networking event on Tuesday, May 3, from 6-9 p.m. at the Staten Island Hilton (1100 South Avenue).
Kings of Staten Island is a premier networking event that honors top Staten Island men for their outstanding leadership and their contributions to the community. The evening affair will include an interactive business expo, followed by a dinner and awards ceremony.
“There is so much talent and there are so many successful businessmen who give back to the community,” said Lori Pedone, event organizer. “This is an opportunity for them to network with each other and be recognized for all that they do.”
Last year’s inaugural Staten Island Kings event followed in the footsteps of the first-ever Staten Island Top Women in Business, an event that feted nearly 40 of the borough’s best and brightest businesswomen.
With that in mind, Schneps Communications and Star Network are looking for nominees! To nominate a determined, resourceful and influential business professional, visit www.homereporter.com/nominations.
