Does anyone belong to or can recommend any good chambers or networking groups? There’s only so much you can find out without actually attending an event. Has anyone here had a positive experience with a B2B group? Something other than old guys drinking coffee and bitching about taxes?

I do business to business sales, so I guess the focus would be anything that deals with small to medium sized companies in the Buffalo region.

for example: [www.thepartnership.org](http://www.thepartnership.org) doesn’t look too bad from the outside. In my experince these type of orginizations can either plug you into a community, or be a colossal waste of time and money. I want to find groups that would help me achieve the former.

This comes to mind. I remember some award from them hanging on the wall at my old place. I have no first hand experience with them though, so all I can offer is the website.
