Holiday season networking

Traditionally in the U.S. December is the month of multiple Christmas celebrations. Most of networking, community and other organization will be organizing their holiday parties, soirees and other types of gatherings that are excellent opportunities not just to celebrate but to network since a lot of people show up for these festive events.

Some of them will be free of charge, others – for e fee (quite often part of the proceeds will go to a charity so you are not just doing good for yourself but also helps someone else too). You can just Google your location and easily find what’s happening.

Here are a couple of examples of what will be going on in Chicago in December:

Have fun, network and enjoy the holiday season!
