The best local networking event I've ever found full of energy
Yesterday, I planned to visit the defined location in F6 Markaz, Islamabad
It was my 1st experience in these networking gatherings
I reached at 11:25 am and found 30+ people standing in a circle and having an intro
As I stepped into the circle, the key member of BYOC asked me to introduce myself (as I was the last person)
Post intro, everyone scattered and kicked off the chat
Since I knew only 1 person, Nauman Faridi (we worked in DPL), we shook hands and started the chat
Let me tell you the best part: I stood at a side place since I barely knew someone, and people started coming towards me
I meet with Ali Hasnain Shah in addition
It's boosted my confidence, even I chatted with a person for about 22 minutes
Overall, I engaged with 8-9 people, we exchanged SM contacts, WhatsApp
As a follow-up, we are meeting in person in the upcoming days to discuss mutual synergies.
If you are in the capital city, you must join us in the upcoming event.
The major talks were: (1) Introduction, (2) What are you up to, (3) Professional discussion, (4) How can I assist you, (5) discussing mutual synergies.
PS: In the last 7 days, I attended 3 productive events. Enhances network & discusses mutual synergies.
