Networking is Better in Groups

Back in early November, I asked you all to vote in my LinkedIn poll. The big question?

Is it better to have many one-on-one networking meetings, or pull together 4-5 connections to network with you (and each other) over a specific topic?

And the results are in...

80% of you voted for group sessions vs. one-on-one meetings.

Now we just need to figure out what those specific topics should be. What could be so compelling that 5 of your friends, colleagues and acquaintances would want to get in a room and discuss it for an hour?

Stay tuned for ideas...if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them as comments, or shoot me an email.

not sure about the topics, but do think that networked conference calls or something like that might be a good idea. sometimes the best people with which to network won't be near by.

Great point! It's definitely worth thinking about the topic, and who would be best to have "in the room". Using Skype, teleconference, or chat may work...and possibly recording the discussion for distribution to everyone?
