The Green Bay Packers Mentor-Protégé Program is set to host a networking event Wednesday, Sept. 20, in Lambeau Field's Johnsonville Tailgate Village located on the east side of the stadium near the Oneida Nation Gate.
The event will include two parts, with the first part featuring guest speaker and branding expert Mark Webster, who will discuss the importance of branding, messaging and storytelling for businesses, along with his background and experience working with Fortune 500 companies.
The second part of the event will be reserved for networking and buyer meetings, which will give businesses an opportunity to network with corporate buyers, resources providers, government agencies, lenders and more. Businesses are encouraged to bring a capabilities statement and business cards; those who need assistance preparing for buyer meetings may contact Jack Laufenberg at JackL@wispro.org.
Attendees may enter the Johnsonville Tailgate Village on the building's south side.

The Packers Mentor-Protégé Program was established to pair emerging companies in northeastern Wisconsin with established, knowledgeable, and committed companies that can provide exposure, training, resources and experience. The program places an emphasis on minority- or woman-owned small businesses, as well as veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned and disabled persons-owned companies, but other companies are also considered. The program aims to foster relationships between area companies and business professionals in order to spark economic development and job creation. The Packers work with AFF Research, LLC, to administer the program.
