Welcome to the second annual International Networking Week (February 4-8, 2008).
Last year, thousands of people from around the world recognized the week, and even more are expected to recognize it this year during hundreds of large events and thousands of small events and networking 
meetings all around the world.
International Networking Week is about celebrating the key role that networking plays in the development and success of business around the world. It is about creating an awareness of the process of networking. Not just any kind of networking, but what I call “relationship networking,” an approach to doing business based on building long-term, successful relationships with people through the networking process.
International Networking Week has now been acknowledged by several governmental organizations (including proclamations from the governors of Nevada and Maryland, a joint resolution of the California State Assembly and Senate, as well as the county supervisors for the County of Los Angeles).
If you belong to any networking groups, make sure to tell them that this is International Networking Week.
Below is an eight-minute video that talks about International Networking Week, 2008. Share the video with others and feel free to show it at your networking meetings during International Networking Week (you will note that I talk about this blog on the video):

I had no idea that it was International Networking Week until I was informed by Ecademy School of Networking. What a fabulous idea, let’s hope it continues for years to come.

Networking week has been great. Kudos to Misner, and everyone involved. This is a very exciting time for networking because of the new capabilities online with sites like Fast Pitch (www.fastpitchnetworking.com), LinkedIn, Xing, and others.

Great post as usual! I wanted to inform you about a new networking site called Efactor. What makes it different is that it is the first global network made for and by entrepreneurs.

I would love to interview you for this. Thanks!
