The wait is over. You've been asking about when we'd be getting together again...it will be on June 2 in Berkeley. Will you be there?

Networking is the name of the game in the business world today, so why not make as many new connections as possible? It is no longer what you know; it's who you know.

If you are interested in having brief 1:1 meetings with other professionals in order to do a quick assessment of who you'd like to connect with later for a deeper conversation, this is THE PLACE to start.

True networking is not only about handshakes and the exchange of business cards. Does the other person with your business card know you well enough to refer to someone in their network who may need your services? Doubtful. Attending our events and participating in the online discussions are an effective way to build strong relationships with others in different professions and industries.

We've all got places where we can network with others with similar backgrounds, but when it comes to networking - diversity is key! Opportunities to meet others with completely different skill sets bring your networking efforts to a whole new level.
