Networking

It’s a New Year so that means it’s time to stop slacking off.  What should be on everyone’s New Year’s list is to get out and network more this year.

You will hear it ad nauseum: Network!  This is important for everyone in business, no matter your field.  That famous phrase “it’s not what you know, but who you know.”  It stems from a good networking regimen.

So make 2015 count.  Here is are some places to get a start for Networking in Chicago for Event Planners:
