🧩 How to Build a Professional Network of Contacts 😀

Find out how to build a professional network of contacts. Aleksander will interview Marek, an experienced Founder, CEO, CTO and scientist at companies and research centres across Australia, USA, Singapore and Poland. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to the discussion and make new connections with other Tech Leaders from the US and Europe.

▶︎ What to expect from the Meetup? ◀︎

At the beginning of the meetup Aleksander will briefly introduce the speaker. Marek will then share his insights on establishing connections and growing your network to help develop your career. We'll then brainstorm on the subject – make sure your camera and mic are working! Finally, we'll have a networking session in breakout rooms.😀

The event is advertised on LinkedIn and on meetup.com in 18 cities in North America and 4 in Europe, so expect more participants than the number of RSVPs in any single meetup group.
