July can be a busy month for anyone. But you can make the most of your time by gaining new information and networking at the many business events happening this week. You can get out and meet people face-to-face at networking events and conferences taking place coast-to-coast from New York to California.
There will even be an event taking place in Ireland for those who like to get international. But travel isn’t your only option. If you can’t get away you can still take part in a number of webinars and other events being offered online.
