The Sacramento Business Journal offers a variety of special events in recognition of industry leaders and as a way of helping those who are looking for professional networking in a variety of fields. One of these – to be held at the end of this month on August 31st – is the ‘Connectionopolis: Strictly Networking’ event.
As well as being beneficial to those who want to get ahead in their careers, Connectionopolis is also for a good cause. For example, proceeds from admission tickets go to the Junior Achievement of Sacramento program, whose mission is to “inspire young people to dream big and reach their potential… teach[ing] financial literacy, entrepreneurship and workforce readiness to students in grades K – 12.” The idea behind it is that by working as a team, there is a greater chance of being able to “empower our next generation to own their economic success.”
In terms of networking in the region, there is also Metro-Edge which seeks to: “ensur[e] the future of Sacramento [via its] mission [which is]: To Engage a diverse network, Develop critical business skills, Give back to the community and Empower leadership.”
