A New Way to Network in Business

So why should you attend? Because an unconference creates a new way — a better way — for business to network with each other!

For example, let's say you want to better use social media to promote your company. Great! But wait — where do you begin? What works? More importantly, what doesn't?

At the unconference you propose a session about social media and voila, it turns out that others who are attending think this is pretty important too. So you get together, share ideas and in the process, you get to talk about your business.

Not in that pushy, unwelcome way that sometimes dominates business networking. But in a way that is real. Authentic. And builds genuine relationships.

As a result you leave the day energized. Excited by new ideas. Most importantly, you have developed new, real relationships with other business owners who are then likely to refer you, because they "get" what you do and can make those connections more easily.
