My friend Chris invited me to a talk this morning at the Cornell Club in Manhattan entitled, “Engaging the media in a brave new world.”
The talk featured Sharon Tolpin, Senior Vice President, Articulate Communications, and Erick Schonfeld, Co-Editor of TechCrunch.com. Honestly, I got very little out of the talk but what struck me was what happened at the panel’s conclusion: the moderator asked everyone to write on the back of a business card two types of people they want to be introduced to. The Club then promised to connect everyone to one of those people within a week.
Based on the people I met, there were definitely some interesting folks, including startup founders, a hedge fund manager, PR professionals and at least on angel investor. It’s nice to have a network like that.
