Mingles

Anniversary Mingle a Huge Success

Posted on: January 18, 2012

Over a hundred and twenty of Victoria’s brightest business professionals came out to Ambrosia Catering and Conference Centre to celebrate Prodigy’s 5th birthday on January 12th. Past Prodigy Group alumni, and even our founding Chair, came to celebrate and reminisce about what the Prodigy Group has achieved during our first five years.

The Honorable Kevin Falcon, Minister of Finance and Deputy Premier of BC, was our esteemed guest speaker for the night. The evening discussion revolved around the importance of small business and local entrepreneurship, especially during times of global economic uncertainty. It was noted that B.C. has a unique talent pool and the right political climate to create more jobs and stand out on the global business stage. Entrepreneurs were encouraged to use their local politicians and Chambers as resources to rally for more entrepreneurial support. The importance of networking as a key success factor in any business was also stressed. The night was filled with funny anecdotes, great insights, and big ideas for business in Victoria. As any good birthday party should, the Prodigy Group also served delicious locally-inspired appetizers and cake, generously donated by our host – Ambrosia Catering and Conference Centre. A big thank-you to Nando’s Chicken, Maximum Furniture, Sportball, and the Placement Group, for contributing such generous door prizes for the event.

With five years under our belt, The Prodigy Group looks forward to another year of connecting Victoria’s business leaders through our monthly mingles, special events, mentorship, and community charity initiatives. We are very excited to announce our next big event: the Amazing Race on April 21st, which is Prodigy Group’s take on a team-based, citywide scavenger hunt. Sign up for the Amazing Race will begin online shortly, so please check back soon. Happy 2012 Everyone! See you at our next mingle in February.
