      “ The initial networking period was okay. I would say there was an imbalance of PR and Marketing individuals to other types of businesses.. Sometimes I felt like I was being pitched..BUt thats okay...thats what its about networking..although it would be nice to hear other ideas in from different industries... the speaker was good and relaxed..I actually spoke to her one on one briefly..got some face time in and gave my card..I appreciated that very much, having her in the crowd getting to know everyone.. I took notes, and looking over what i wrote thought it was a good insightful meeting.. thumbs up ”
