I've known many the employee who's learned nothing, and achieved nothing attending conferences. The presupposition that conferences are instawin somehow is flawed methinks.

This is exactly why I launched an online course. So people can set goals and know how to meet new people. It's not pushy, traditional networking stuff either. It's to build true relationships with cool people who can lead you to new business opportunities later. Networking is about helping others first.
