I didn’t know what to expect. This was not the typical networking event. I can’t think of a better, more fulling, networking event that I attended. It was a small group, and I’m guessing carefully cultivated to maximize the connections. I feel like I met a whole group of new lifelong friends. What more can you ask for?
