Step Away From the Computer

Networking and Skill-Building Event

virtual networking handshake

 

Whether you're a LinkedIn devotee, a rabid Facebook friendaholic, or one of the Twitter Tweeple, join us for some good, old-fashioned, face-to-face networking. Step away from the computer for a few hours to meet some cool folks and build your network at the same time.

In addition to our very popular speed networking, we'll also have a few quick sessions on topics you've asked for.

Location

The location is listed on the right side of the page. Thanks to the great folks at DeVry University, they will be hosting our event at their campus in Oakland (City Center). It is right on the BART line, so it should be easily accessible from all directions. 

 

General information

Before the event, I will send a few tips to you regarding how to prepare for this type of event, so keep a lookout for an email from irene(at)almostsavvy(dot)com

After the event, I will forward the contact information for all attendees to you, so don't worry if you didn't get a chance to meet everyone. Just to be really, really clear...this information is for networking purposes only - do not add folks to your email list, send them sales materials or resumes without their permission.

How can I help you use social media and networking for your business, career or connecting with those most important to you?

If you are looking for a social media guru who uses a lot of tech-speak, you've come to the wrong place. If you are looking for a coach, consultant or speaker who will explain things in a way that is easy to understand, you are in the right place.

Social media is very new and anyone who claims they are a guru likely isn't. What are your goals and how can I help you achieve them?
