People gather in groups on a variety of reasons.There are several reasons why people attend events and network with the other people who attend. there are three primary time of events people attend these days:
- Social networking events to meet like-minded people for fun and enjoyment
- Business networking events to meet contacts we might partner with, sell to, or buy from
- Civic events where we volunteer our time or money to help the organization accomplish its goals and to meet interesting people
@business networking: do not forget "networking in order to meet contacts to share news, knowledge and ideas".
