Networking
Business shouldn’t happen in a vacuum. What’s more, when it comes to doing creative stuff, you’ve got to be out there. You know, mixing it up. Meeting, greeting, and diving into experiences with others just like you who find inspiration in the everyday.
Lucky for you, we here at VMA are kind of obsessed with organizing events that give you all kinds of opportunities to do just that.
Whether social, professional, or educational, when you attend a VMA event, you’ll meet cool, like-minded members, make connections with awesome professionals in your field, and come away with the skills, tools, and leading-edge best practices, tips, and techniques you need to get more out of your career.
As a reminder, VMA Members are able to attend Collective Conversations, ConnectUp, and SalesCircle for FREE as part of your membership.
