English version:
FlorenceIN/ToscanaIN  is a non-profit business club associated with the national federation of ClubINs. It is a live social networking group that grew out of the online network LinkedIn. The goal of the club is to promote networking and dialogue about the “working world” in Florence and Tuscany. Monthly meetings consist of about an hour’s “debate”, in which 5-6 invited speakers (often members of the club) speak informally for about 10 minutes each about their experience or a case study related to that night’s theme. Past themes have been, to name a few, digital realities (advertising, music, interactive installations etc.), local media (The Florentine participated along with InToscana and others), customer management, and a team-building demonstration that involved some rugby, an English debate about cultural exchange, and a presentation of resources and tips for start-ups in a bad economy. This is followed discussion over wine and great buffet for only 10 euros.

There are over 400 card-holding members and over 1200 people signed up to the group on LinkedIn. FlorenceIN responds to a great need for networking opportunities in Florence and Tuscany and encourages economic as well as personal growth through social exchange amongst members from a wide range of fields.
