Actionable Networking with Magnet, Sept 18

If I weren't singing with the Young New Yorker's Chorus (we rehearse Tuesday nights September-June), I would be at this event:

RSVP: http://magnet4.eventbrite.com/ ($25 plus Eventbrite fee)

Tuesday, Sept. 18 from 7-9 pm

Location: 
Projective Spaces
72 Allen Street
3rd Floor 
New York, NY 

Here's your chance to come to an event with a question you want to have answered and actually have it answered.

It's a way to utilize the networks of 30 people you don't know and make meaningful connections along the way.




The idea is doing more than just getting to know each other, but seeing how we can help and support each other.
Your ticket includes beer, wine and food that we provide.


Here's how it works:
  • You tell us an opportunity you need filled, for example:
    • Does anyone know a great Wordpress designer?
    • Does anyone know a top notch designer that's looking for a full-time gig and has experience doing mobile apps?
    • Does anyone know a developer capable of setting up a site with social platforms and a sales platform?
It can be anything!
  • Once at the event, your question will be on a sheet of paper and have a number associated with it: (1, 2, 3, etc). You’ll have a name tag with the number of your question.
  • Everyone’s task will be to look at the board of opportunities and select at least 3 people you’d like to help, in whatever capacity. You write your number on a Post-It note and slap it on the question you can help with
  • You have to find the people you want to help and connect with them. At the same time people will be looking for you, offering connections and support.
In the end, your sheet will look something like:




Our ability to simultaneously pursue our own goals while being mindful and supportive of other people’s goals is fundamental to human life - so fundamental, in fact that we have trouble turning it off. - Clay Shirky
