• Milspo Virtual Networking January 2024

  Wednesday, January 10, 2024 Online

  Milspo Virtual Networking January 2024, 10/01/2024 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm GMT, FREE. If you run your own business or are thinking of starting one, then this Virtual Networking Session is for you! I know, as a business owner, just how important networking can be for both my business and my own personal growth. But I also know how difficult it can be to build a network because of this transient military life – so how would you like access to other Milspo’s in business, all over the country (and maybe the world!) without even leaving the house? We are a community of amazing business leaders all over the world, and it seems such a shame that we miss out on the ability to network together. Military life doesn’t have to be so lonely – it’s time to meet people just like you, building amazing businesses despite the challenges of modern military life. It’s super easy, business-focused and completely free. There’s also a free guide that accompanies this event that will help you plan your pitch and get the most out of this networking session.
