Is Networking Dead?

Of course not!  But it certainly has changed. Face-to-face networking used to be the preeminent way to make connections. Today, there is a dazzling array of networking choices to make.  How do you blend the benefits of personal networking with tools like LinkedIn?  How do you make the most impact when you are spending valuable time networking?  When you walk into an event, what are you saying about yourself before you even speak to someone?  What makes people seek you out in person or in social media?  How do you measure your networking effectiveness?  What are the most important steps you can take to be successful and drive your business forward?

 

Please join us for a 360 degree view of networking in today's social media focused world as you engage a talented and entertaining panel of experts.  Walk out with real world ideas that you can use immediately to increase your networking effectiveness.

Spotlight On Success: Dave Magrogan, Founder & CEO, The Dave Magrogan Group

By: Brian J. Odelli

Have you ever met someone and felt as though you have known them all your life? They possess a welcoming personality that makes talking to them effortless. Dave Magrogan is one of those people. We have had the pleasure of getting to know each other over the last few months and I now have the good fortune of calling Dave Magrogan my friend (I hope that he feels the same way). While I can, and will, share Dave's story of success with you in a moment, I think the story of what has lead to Dave's success, is truly inspiring.
