Get Away From The Computer And Network IRL

PTE business networking picture by Dave Schneider

Seeing my friend Martin Focazio announce his new role (congrats again Marty!!!!) by pointing out the importance if in person networking, made me realize how important it is to get out and meet people and networking in person. Not just on platforms like LinkedIn and Alignable (et al).

Since the pandemic there has been some great developments in online networking events. I’m not knocking them one bit. They have their place.

But there is something to be said for IRL (in real life) networking.

Granted I know that for different reasons getting out and meeting people in person is harder for some than others.

What do you think?
