One Chicago event next week looks at how difficult it is to hire developers.
But there are other important business events on the horizon, too. Near the beginning of the week alone, for example, there are events in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Akron and San Diego.
And topics run the gamut from honing the business pitch to getting motivated. So get yourself to a business event soon — even if it’s one that’s offered online. (Yes, there are some of those coming up too!)
You’ll see your knowledge and skills increase and you’ll come away with new ideas to implement.
