Philadelphia Networking Event

What: Symposium – The Business of Sports Networking – Philadelphia

Where: The Field House, 1150 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107

When: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 (6:30 p.m.)

Description:

Russell Scibetti of The Business of Sports blog, is putting together a networking event in Philadelphia, PA.  It is intended for sports business professionals that work/live in the PHI area.

I am a big believer in the value of networking and building a strong group of confidants to help you progress to greatness.  It is a lot easier than going at it alone, and makes you much less anti-social in the process.  Having allies only strengthens your own personal brand, and can hedge any potential risks for your clients.  Social networking is great, but it is not enough.  It will always be preferable to meet others in person, shake hands, and even get some pictures…that you can then add to your Facebook.

There is no charge to attend the Philadelphia event.  And there is only one rule: No Resumes.
