In January, 1999, the "Premiere Issue" of Networking Today rolled off the press and was delivered to 10,000 businesses in London, Ontario. A few months later, it went online exclusively to reach a global audience with a local feel. Published and edited by Susan Regier, head writer of Vantage One Writing, the site was created as a way for entrepreneurs, sales people, and professionals to connect and build relationships and grow their businesses. Each month, new articles written by experts in the business community across North America (and at times, beyond) attract thousands of visitors. Local networking groups are profiled and upcoming event listings keep readers coming back to the site. In 2008, Networking Today expanded to open doors and connect professionals across Canada. Networking Today Franchise Inc. was developed and franchise opportunities are available across the country.
