   So jealous I couldn’t make it out there this week. I know Matt must’ve dispensed some good knowledge last night. He’s such a humble dude, knows more than he thinks he does.

   But now I want to get back out there again.

   I am fairly new to going out to the networking events but I can say that there is already much fruit that has come from meeting other individuals that work in the same field as I do. Meeting people in the creative community gives a fresh take on thoughts toward design and creativity as well. I am majorly stoked on heading out to another next week, also stoked on the possibility of coming to one out there someday!

   Thanks Aaron!

   I try to get to networking events as often as I can. There have been a few where people are just passing business cards around like a poker dealer and it seems like the person you’re talking to is not even listening.

   Definitely the small, informal events are best. No real agenda, just talking shop with other like minded people.

   I gotta get to SoCal

   Agreed. I work at home and without the local network of professionals in my area I would never get out. I’ve gotten jobs from it too but that”s because I’ve built relationships with these people first.
