I had the opportunity to attend the Trans-Tasman Business Circle business lunch and networking function today.
The 400+ attendess got to hear from the CEO of Auckland Council and the Mayor on the first 12 months of the new Auckland Council.
The gathered group was a whos who of Auckland business and what struck me was the amount of pre-lunch networking. And this networking was face to face networking that kind of networking that builds relationships and trust.
I had the opportunity to meet some new contacts and using the great apps he now have access to via out smartphone was able to connect to these contacts very quickly using the LinkedIn cardmunch app.
The point here is that online networks and the use of social media can enhance your networking ability. Face to face meetings and networking are not DEAD!
