Networking. An important part of how our society connects to exchange information and services. It provides a forum that could lead to a job offer, funding for a business venture, or a lasting friendship.
However, the on-going hunt for the perfect connection has caused a self-serving bias across our networking culture where the default mentality is focused on “what can you do for me?”.
Imagine if we were able to create a networking environment where each individual asked, “what can I do for you?”. This is the networking environment San Diego Tech Hub wants to create.
For our September meeting we are trying something new. Our breakout sessions will now align with the SDTH mission by focusing on topics that inform, connect, and empower our SDTH community members.
