Business Networking is alive and well in San Diego! There are over 200 monthly networking events happening all around the county. As the publisher of the most comprehensive networking calendar in San Diego, the most often-asked question I get is, “What networking group should I join?” That is impossible to answer, for there are many factors to take into consideration. Effective networking relies on so many factors. Who do you need to meet? How much time can you commit to Networking? Is your business local, national or international? Whatever your needs are, there is a group, association or event that will provide the connections you need. Now…how do you find the right event?
The Blog is brought to you by the San Diego Networking Guide, (SDNG) San Diego’s only locally produced, free calendar – delivered to your inbox – that is devoted exclusively to San Diego’s business networking scene. I first started offering the calendar & newsletter for my coaching clients, and it has grown to over 200 monthly events in the five years since its inception. The guide is a free resource…free for the groups listed, and free subscription for the readers. This Blog is an interactive extension of the SDNG. There are different categories of postings:
- San Diego Networking Scene- What’s going on with different groups and articles on networking
- Mindy’s Musings – Observations of a personal nature, often humorous, of the trials & tribulations of being self-employed and a serial networker
- VINs: Very Important Networkers – Profiles of those who are making it all happen
- Reader’s Report- Learn about the hot new business books!
The public is welcome to leave comments or submit articles (contact me about articles). Tell us about your networking experiences… what works…. what does not. Tell us about groups you want to applaud and “VINs” you want to showcase. This is your forum!
Go Forth and Network!
