Network Connections

No budget for staff travel? CHPA comes to you!

Network Connections Events are informal meetings that occur frequently throughout the year throughout North America. They offer you the chance to learn and discuss market trends and issues, as well as the opportunity to connect with other corporate housing professionals in the area. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, these events are generally FREE for CHPA members. Scroll down to see how easy it is to hold one in your area!

Upcoming events

The CHPA Network Connections Taskforce oversees the Network Connection events. CHPA staff also handles all the marketing and is available to assist in all aspects of the event. There is a clear timeline and process in place. You know the players and you know the dynamics of your market, so we need YOU to continue making these events successful! Need inspiration or a reason to get colleagues together in your area? Check out these great networking ideas!

What do I need to do?
One of the key successes for these luncheons is a local facilitator who knows the players, knows the market and is willing to host the meetings. If you want to become more involved in leading your market, please contact the CHPA Office at info@chpaonline.org or 317-328-4631.

What does it cost?
There is a $250 administrative fee paid to CHPA to assist members with their Network Connections. This fee covers the marketing, staff, time and materials dedicated to making your event successful. We suggest building this fee into the sponsor cost or splitting the cost with another company or sponsor.

The main responsibilities for involvement are:
Please note that the same person or company can fulfill all of these roles or split it between several companies.

  • Secure meeting space
  • Cover the $250 administrative fee
  • Lead and foster the event’s discussion

  • Contact invitees to encourage attendance
  • Oversee other logistical details of the event
