This past Thursday, I had the distinct pleasure to be part of a great networking event put on by Autumn Essie Bailey Ford and her sponsors. The event was hosted at the luxurious 200 Peachtree Street located in the heart of downtown Atlanta. People from all over attended the networking event to make connections, start new business ventures, expand ongoing business, partner with others, and make affiliates to add value to one another.
“Get Connected” is Atlanta’s newest and grandest industry mixer open to anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, or who is established in their career. They are invited to attend and share knowledge, experiences and contacts, or to just have a great time.
As the COO of Gigaré, Inc., I traveled from Arizona to make this month’s networking mixer. It was the first “Get Connected” event that Gigaré, Inc has attended, but surely won’t be the last. Being born in Georgia it is always my pleasure to come back to Atlanta even when it is for business.
Marquez Hughley is the CEO and founder of Gigaré, Inc. He established Gigaré- A King’s Collection during his freshman year at Morehouse College in 4 months (from September 2008 – December 2008) from an idea to a tangible product. During his interview Marquez explains the names and meanings behind the neckties.
The actual idea for Gigaré – “A King’s Collection” was God-inspired, and given to me in September 2008 while studying for my Physical Science course. The vision was to start a Men's Business Professional / Casual Wear clothing line to induce a particular mindset and perspective of one’s own self-image and worth. Gigaré - “A King's Collection” is the brand’s name and slogan of the product sold. The name Gigaré means, “A billion, as pertaining to the worth.”
The atmosphere at Get Connected was so inviting. The live music played set a friendly tone as business men and women connected and had good conversation. The Jazz played by the saxophonist was soothing as he hit the keys and notes to excite our minds and take our breath away.
Celebrities like Tommy Ford (“Martin”), was in the house as he promoted his newest venture, My Portal TV. “Get Connected” is the place you want to be to network, share knowledge, experiences, contacts, and enjoy life the last Thursday of every month.
