• Milspo Virtual Networking – October 2023

  Wednesday, October 11, 2023 Online

  Milspo Virtual Networking – October 2023, October 11 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BST. 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.
