The company that developed the online gift currency known as Flooz, held a networking event.

The purpose: To promote business relations between Flooz.com and merchants which accept the Flooz currency. With this in mind, it's no surprise that among the distinguished guests were some of the country's most influential E-business people.

Flooz.com entrusted Thomas Brooke to produce this important occasion. All event ingredients were precise.

To provide their guests with a fun way to "break the ice." Thomas Brooke suggested a game. Each guest was handed a piece of a puzzle upon their arrival. The object was to find the person who held the matching piece. This turned out to be a great idea, not only was it fun but it made meeting among the merchants much less intimidating.

As they admired the sights of the harbor on the yacht's exterior, hors d'oeuvres were served.

A live jazz ensemble with a cool vibraphone sound, added a nice touch to this lively atmosphere.

The buffet was accented by fine wines and open bar. Later some guests took the time to enjoy a drink in the piano Lounge as they listened to the delicate music of an expert pianist. Others posed with life-sized cutouts of Flooz.com spokeswoman Whoopi Goldberg.
