Partnering to Lift your Business Skyward

Posts Tagged ‘Consulting Conference 2010’

As much as we complain about the traffic, the high prices, the smog, etc; living in a large metropolitan city does have it merits and this last month has been abundant with networking opportunities here in the Pacific Northwest.

I was able to attend several types of events for little more than some time and minimal dollar investments.   There were actual networking events, learning events, social events and I won a ticket to hear a well-known speaker, have breakfast at a conference whose attendees are my target market and was blessed to meet some incredible people at all events.   It is been an amazingly busy month but I’ve enjoyed it immensely.

Being “out there” online created the opportunity for every one of these events as each event came through a different type of social media connection.  Twitter, Linked In, RSS feeds and Facebook provide such a wonderful opportunity to meet people online and then get out and connect face to face.

Through Twitter I was able to follow a conference being held in Chicago and make a great connection retweeting their helpful information.

How are you ensuring you take advantage of the opportunities in your area?
