We've been coming to the Largest Mixer® since 2005! It's a great opportunity for both new businesses that are just starting up and businesses that have been established for years to meet potential new clients. Especially in today's economy it's amazing to see so many businesses flourishing by coming out to events like these.

I wouldn't keep coming back if it wasn't such a wonderful opportunity to meet and mingle with thousands of business people in the area—and this is my 9th year! The event is so well run and organized that participating is really a no-brainer.

This is only my second year with the mixer but our results so far have been amazing. We yielded a considerable return on our investment here last year and we're really grateful to be here again this year!

We've been with the Largest Mixer® for five years now and every year has been a very smooth experience. The mixer is polished, organized, and so easy to navigate. There's no better event if you want to promote your company and educate the public on what you do!

What a great experience! We just got started but we've already got huge crowds here. The Largest Mixer® is not only one of the best places to get a lot of attention all under one roof, but also a great company to work with—the people are friendly and made the whole experience incredibly easy.
Rob Norton

As one of the bag sponsors we were already guaranteed exposure to over 1,500 people, not to mention the 300 or so different companies that stopped by our booth during the event. The Largest Mixer® is just an all-around great event that gives our business a huge promotional opportunity that we wouldn't receive otherwise.

We've attended the Largest Mixer® for several years and each time it has been a home run! There's never a glitch and it always gives us the opportunity to meet tons of new businesses. We'll definitely be back next year.

This is our very first year but everything has been fantastic! The attendance level has been incredible and the Largest Mixer® staff is such a pleasure to work with. The whole execution from start to finish was flawless.
Leslie Mercado

Similar to many companies, we want to meet as many different people as possible to introduce them to what our organization has to offer, and the Largest Mixer is the perfect venue to do just that.

The Largest Mixer® has been extraordinary, invigorating, educational, and a lot of fun! On top of the thousands of business people to meet, there's also an amazing amount of food and free swag (which everybody likes of course). The Mixer has far exceeded our expectations!

All three of the Largest Mixer®s that we've participated in have been tremendous. We've been in Inland Empire, here in Orange County and also in Los Angeles. The contacts that we've made and the ability to show ourselves to other local businesses has just been terrific!

Without Orange County's Largest Mixer®, we would not be able to get our name out to all these companies, which we most likely would not otherwise come in contact with, so it's a great event to meet new people and get your name out there.

Orange County's Largest Mixer® has helped in a couple of ways at the OC Fair & Event Center. First of all, it's here at the property and we've seen some benefits in having the event here, from our Baja Blues restaurant hosting small corporate meetings, up to large exposition type consumer shows. We've been able to see the growth in that area as well as just getting the word out on the street that the OC Fair & Event Center is a great place to have an event for anybody and, of course, just to come out to the annual OC Fair in July.
Robyn Riedel
OC Fair & Event Center
I think our exposure to Southern California attendees who come to the Mixer is phenomenal. I have so many people come up to me and recognize Mammoth as a name. So it's really great for us to attend Orange County's Largest Mixer®. They really recognize us and it's great exposure for us.
Laura Kennedy

Orange County's Largest Mixer® has been a tremendous addition to our Chamber. As an event sponsor, we have had so many businesses find us here at Orange County's Largest Mixer®. Also, our own members work with us and we have been able to promote this Mixer as part of our program.
Nancy Tilove
Irvine Chamber of Commerce
Orange County's Largest Mixer® is great for our business. There's a broad range of companies that we like to talk to, and also partner opportunities. Lots of companies that come here: SEO internet to educate other small businesses on how to use their product.

We've participated in Orange County's Largest Mixer® for the last two years, and every time we hand out coupons we get at least 30% redemption. We probably distribute about 10,000 coupons, so 30% of that is 3,000 people that come to our restaurants because of Orange County's Largest Mixer®.

Orange County's Largest Mixer® is actually one of the best mixers I've been to. It's fantastic. There are thousands of friendly, wonderful people here, and great food.
Cande Avila, Executive Director
Brea Chamber of Commerce
Being able to market at a place like this is very beneficial because we have a captive audience. My expectations of Orange County's Largest Mixer® for the Register, is to create awareness of our new self service product called Express Ads. And then we'd like to create a lot more awareness for our other publications. This is a good opportunity to market business to business.

Orange County's Largest Mixer® helps us reach out to the local community. This is my first year as an exhibitor. This is a great way for us to get some feedback from the public about our center and about our stores.
Pat Rogers

Orange County's Largest Mixer® allows us to reach people outside our local area. This event gives us a chance to speak to businesses that we would not otherwise reach and show them how they can utilize our chamber to their benefit.
Pam Smith

This is the second year that we participate in Orange County's Largest Mixer®. We came back this year because we had such a great experience last year. We met many people in our community, and had some great conversations about our business, letting people know bout our hospitality program, where our concierges partner with businesses and help them with any large party reservation needs that they may have. It's been an effective tool to actually connect with the community and let them know about some of the great programs that we have.

Orange County's Largest Mixer® is very exciting; it's great just from the world 'large.' There is a lot of interaction; we're meeting and talking to a lot of people, and sharing information.
Janet Atkins

We've been participating in Orange County's Largest Mixer® for three years. It has brought us extreme success. Orange County is our target demographic, and here we have a casual environment, with people walking around with drinks, hanging out, and you still get to give them a little pitch here and there, and they can call you in the weeks to come. We find Orange County's Largest Mixer® to be a great success to our business.
Brandon Moody

Orange County's Largest Mixer® has helped us tremendously. The market is great and I think we will get a lot of business from here.

Orange County's Largest Mixer® are really great. This particular one allows us to come into an area where we can meet entrepreneurs who want to do some business in the north. Under one roof, we can get to meet them and show them we have a very alive chamber of commerce and that we have a lot to offer. It has worked very well for us.
Brian McNerney

Orange County's Largest Mixer® has helped us market our bank as a platform from which to talk about our current business banking program. We're giving away a year of free banking so that business owners can try out our services at no cost. This event is very timely. We're looking forward to doing a lot of business with many local entrepreneurs.
Ed O'Connell
Bank of the West
Orange County's Largest Mixer® is the Largest Mixer® I've ever been to. We didn't come with enough business cards, considering all the cards we've already given away. It's been a very positive experience; we've met many people who are looking for our kinds of services. We'll definitely be back next year.

Orange County's Largest Mixer® has been terrific. We have met so many people, a lot of business owners and key decision makers. We've had feedback on our programs. It's been good all the way around for us.

For us, the benefit of being at tonight's Orange County's Largest Mixer® has been meeting with a lot of business owners who have given me insight to getting into their companies, giving them our information to their employees who can come to our school for further education.

I've been involved with Orange County's Largest Mixer® since it's inception. It's been very good for us and for the city to bring people in from all over Orange County, as well as from San Diego and Los Angeles counties. It's a very good marketing tool.
Tom Brennan

Orange County's Largest Mixer® was wonderful. The traffic was non-stop. People continued to flood through. It's very helpful. We have a bucket-full of new contacts and I'm looking forward to talking with them.
Rob Hughes

Orange County's Largest Mixer® is critical to us. We meet hundreds of people that we would not normally meet just by calling out on leads that we get and waiting for people to contact the chamber. We had so much fun. I have about a week's worth of phone calls to make and e-mails to send to get back in touch with people to whom we've talked tonight. As a chamber executive, I go to tons of events, and this is the cream of the crop. We're amazed at the number of contacts we got, and at the number of people who wanted to talk to us.

The Mixer has quickly become an anticipated annual event! It’s a great way for our members to do business and enjoy themselves at the same time.
Kelly Grass

When I first heard about the Orange County’s Largest Mixer®, I thought to myself, 'Great ... not another one of these boring, useless events.' Boy, was I wrong! The OC Mixer was well organized, well promoted and consisted of hundreds of professionals, like myself, hoping to make contacts and expand their businesses. I even got two clients directly from the event, making it even further worthwhile. I emphatically recommend the Largest Mixer® to anyone looking to grow their business through personal networks and contacts!

Thank you for the invite to participate in this year's Orange County's Largest Mixer®. We didn't know what we were missing. It was definitely a great evening of exposure for us. Now, the hard part...sifting thru the plethora of leads! It's a nice problem to have. Our booth location was in a wonderful spot. We look forward to participating at L.A.'s Largest Mixer® as we'd like to increase our exposure even more.

We had a great experience as an exhibitor at Orange County’s Largest Mixer®. The event was very well organized and it delivered what was promised: the opportunity to network with 3000 people. Not only did we meet with quality potential clients, we also networked with future venues for an Out of the Box Events scavenger hunt. In less than a week, we have already set up 10 meetings that resulted from the OC Mixer. As a business owner, I highly recommend the Largest Mixer®s!

We were EXTREMELY pleased with this year’s OC Mixer. We captured so many leads. In fact, we are already flying our first client thanks to the event. Looking forward to the LA Mixer this summer.

An amazing show! We had such a great time. There were tons and tons of referrals. So many, that we booked two catering gigs at the event itself! I should have signed up my business years ago!

We made a lot of connections at this year’s OC Mixer and look forward to meeting even more with all of the business cards we collected. It was great fun and well worth the value of being an exhibitor.

Orange County’s Largest Mixer® provided The Bank of Hemet with great opportunities to network and share information regarding our exciting new technology which allows businesses to make their deposits directly from their office. The Bank has participated at Inland Empire’s Largest Mixer® and we anticipate continuing our participation at future events based on our results.
Claudette Silva

Wow! What a crowd! This is the network event to put all other networking events in 2nd place! You can't help but do great at Largest Mixer®, I mean REALLY great unless you have your back turned to the crowd and are selling "invisible mudpies from Mars."

When I think about the OC Mixer, I think about the great relationships that I have encountered in the last four years. The people that I’ve done the banners have actually referred other customers to me, so the effectiveness of the event continues on and on. It’s always a pleasure working with Dave Linden and his team.
Ray Martinez

We’ve received a lot of our large accounts from participating at the Largest Mixer®. From doing business in the US to getting accounts in the UK it’s a great way to do business. We educate a lot of people on our services, too. When they come here, they get their questions answered. It’s all face to face and then we get to develop a relationship.
Nancy Vega

The whole experience is definitely exciting because the people that come to the Largest Mixer® really want to do business. They want to know they have somebody to trust and we have been really successful in that portion of our business. There are a lot of companies that have hit the wall and don’t know what to do, the great thing about this Mixer is that we can have a discussion as to how to help their business…and next thing you know, you have a customer for life!
