Network to Get Work
“It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know” - a phrase which has long been both a key to
success and a seemingly impossible idiom. Sure, it’s about who you know, but how do you get to know the
right people? If you’re not born a Vanderbilt or a Rockefeller how can you achieve this key step to success?

Luckily, for the everyman/everywoman there is a skill to be honed and a craft to be perfected. That, is
the art of networking. Learn to demystify this enigma and master this tool in time for the main event
of the year, the National Business and Technology Conference where you will be able to put your skills to
the test, getting to meet the titans of industry like Harry Rosen - the founder of Harry Rosen Inc., Isadore
Sharp - the founder of the Four Seasons Hotels and many more.
