Speednetworking for Enterprise Week

Today marks the last day of Enterprise Week 2007, an annual flurry of events run by the Make Your Mark campaign, whose mission is to encourage young people to have ideas and make them happen.

As part of Enterprise Week I helped to organise a speednetworking event for a group I belong to on Facebook - the Third Sector PR & Communications Network. Groups set up on social networking sites can often lack the drive or direction to be genuinely useful (I’m talking about the professionally-oriented groups here, rather than the just-for-fun ones), so it’s great to belong to one that’s thinking about how it can be of real benefit to its members.

There’s already talk of another meet-up in January, so I guess the move to real-world networking was a success!
