We closed the season on 5 July. Nine meetings brought in 214 people, and members signed 23 deals with each other.

The counting was simple: after every meeting participants marked in a shared table who they had agreed with and for how much. All 23 deals were confirmed by both sides, and another seven are still in progress and were left out of this report.
The most common match: construction and renovation people look for electricians and logistics and find them inside the club. The hiring evening worked separately, three companies filled six vacancies with candidates from the city, without an agency.
What did not work: fifty minutes for one topic turned out to be too long, and by the end of the evening half the hall had left. From September the first part is cut to thirty minutes, and the list of requests goes out the next day instead of a week later.
The outcome
Nine meetings, 23 confirmed deals between Ashkelon business owners and 310,000 shekels of orders that stayed in the city.
