If you want to take your online and offline networking to the next level this is for you.

It's advanced training for LinkedIn®. This isn't just about how to fill in the blanks on your profile.  This is a deep dive into strategies and techniques for integrating LinkedIn® into your real World networking while you build a strong following online. Oh, and we'll show you some cool ways to find people you want to meet, too.

It's a "Social Networking Boot Camp"

The evening is sponsored by Seattle's Urban Marco allowing us to bring the program to you in a great location at a very low cost.

This program is perfect for job seekers but will be of value to people looking to expand their business networking or even networking within a favorite hobby. Experienced users will walk away with some great new insights and strategies to take their networking to the next level. But if you are a new user there is a place for you with us as well. Even the most advanced techniques and strategies will make perfect sense to the newest users. 

The event will take place at Spitfire in Belltown, Seattle. Spitfire offers a relaxed atmosphere for socializing as well as the workshop. After a day at work, we want to make sure you are comfortable for the workshop so we are providing seating at tables as well as the big comfortable Spitfire couches. We even provide some snacks and the first beverage of your choice is on us.

Bring your business cards and your computer. If you don’t have a notebook, netbook, iPad or other portable computer, come and join us anyway. You can take notes and we will provide a handout of the workshop slides for you to review later.
