Our last event, co-hosted by our friends at the Australian Web Industry Association's Port80 group, featured Ron Gibson, Managing Director of Go Networking, as our speaker.

Ron offered us various approaches to networking, asked us to consider the difference between networking and socialising, mused on givers and takers and gave us tips for cultivating new contacts into lasting and genuine business relationships. There was plenty of opportunity to put his advice into practice after his presentation upstairs at The Ellington jazz club on Beaufort Street. With the room full of WITWA and Port80 members, the conversation and drinks flowed.

Thanks to The Ellington for letting those of us that wanted to stay the opportunity to watch the jazz downstairs after the event, and to Port80 for providing the LED necklace door prize and canapés.
