To Do/Instructions

Now that you’ve already attended one virtual networking event, you will have a point of comparison. So, pick a networking event to attend this week that covers a different aspect of your interests and is hosted by a different organization. After you’ve attended your second event are to write a blog post about the virtual event you attended. You should let the reader know the following information:

• the name of the event, the host for the event

• Type of event: panel, networking get-together, presentation or tutorial, etc.

• Topics covered

• Was it interactive–was there a Q & A or breakout rooms, etc. Did you get to connect with attendees? Where they many attendees?

• What you learned & was there a follow-up email after the event from the hosts

• Your take/review of the event and how it compares with the previous event you attended

• Research one speaker or company or topic from the presentation and add information you learned from that research into your post

Here’s a past student’s review of a One Club Event. This one was in-person but can still be used as a model.

• You should also make sure you connect via LinkedIN with two individuals from this networking event.
