Brentwood, Tennessee (PRWEB) December 02, 2016

Business and Legal Resources� has acquired Forum Networking Events, a provider of highly structured business networking events across the United States.

"One of the key components of being a successful business-to-business leading brand is the ability to bring communities together," said Rafael Cardoso, Executive Vice President of BLR's Workforce Division.

"The addition of Forum Networking Events to our portfolio of industry-leading brands and services continues our commitment to delivering intelligence and building connections for the audiences we serve so that they can drive success within their organizations."

Forum Networking Events brings an emerging form of in-person events to BLR, connecting industry leaders so that they can continue to adapt and drive innovation across the enterprise. This acquisition builds on BLR's robust event business, focused on delivering professional development and networking opportunities to attendees, and high-value engagement to advertisers. BLR's Workforce Division currently hosts nine annual, accredited conferences--in addition to seminars, webcasts, and other professional events--each addressing top industry challenges.

"I am proud of our accomplishments at Forum Networking Events, and I couldn't be more thrilled that the business has found a home with BLR," said Steve Parsloe, former CEO of Forum Networking Events.

"I'm confident with the leadership in place at BLR that our staff and business will grow to its full potential."

The Forum Networking Events acquisition adds 18 new live events to BLR's growing portfolio of conferences in 2017.
