Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 20, 2009 -- biztravelconnect, the first social networking site for business travelers, began its soft launch period during which it is building its web presence and event and user bases. At www.biztravelconnect.com, professionals are able to maximize networking opportunities during business conferences and travel through online vertical communities based on attendance at an upcoming event or travel to a particular city, their industry, business interests, languages spoken and other criteria. Event organizers can use the site to promote their upcoming events and enhance attendees' productivity and speakers' reach. There are no charges for use of the site.
