Many people hate networking. They hate it because they don’t enjoy making small talk just to get someone’s business card or a LinkedIn connection. They hate it because it seems cheap and transactional. They hate it because they tried going to a couple of ‘networking events,’ and it just seemed like a waste of time. If you can relate to any of these comments about networking, During his event, How to Network When You Hate Networking, Dr. David Giltner will assure you that these issues are all based on common ideas about networking that are just wrong.

2. Creative ways to meet people who share their career interests and goals

3. Six steps that even introverts can use to build a valuable professional network
