I forgot how interesting and (potentially) fun it is going to offline networking events. We are well used to canvassing and flaunting our wares via social network sites such as LinkedIn and Jigsaw, but lest we forget, so entrenched are we in the depths of social media, that actual networking is really useful and really fun.
Having attended Castaway last night, it was humbling to meet some greats from the likes of Mook, SomeOne, Bebo and Unleashing Ideas, as well as Zopa and Build a Brand. A shame i didn’t get to catch up with Zuzanna from Silicon Stilettos, but we shall no doubt catch up next time there’s a meet up.
So, as ‘easy’ as it may be to network from our chairs, I am heartily encouraging people to engage with offline networking as well as online. As a contact of mine is wont to say: Just Network!
