Connect with local creative solopreneurs and build your contact list

Networking is a widely accepted business practice. But not everyone feels confident in how to go about it effectively. What skills do you need to make connections and build business relationships? Join us to share tips on how to master the art of networking as a solopreneur.
We’ll explore these topics:
  • How to present yourself and make a positive impression
  • How to offer value and make genuine connections
  • Best networking environments for Solos from events to LinkedIn
Please bring a tip or a story to share. Questions for the group are welcome, too.
Warm up with this 2 minute read on networking tips.
We hope to see you there!
