An informal opportunity to network with other MGI Worldwide members

|
| |
If your travel arrangements allow, take the time to meet with other members. Consider others in the same technical area, with the same client types, with skills that your firm doesn’t have or in a geographic region that is relevant to your clients.
Alternatively, meet with your colleagues to create an action plan based on the conference - a number of firms did this very successfully last year.
