  LinkedIn Local - Moreton Bay

  Jan 2022 - Jan 2023

  Host

  I have created LinkedIn Local - Moreton Bay to help you get out from behind a screen and instead connecting with our local business community in the flesh.We do this by hosting in-person events within Moreton Bay; including lunch events, after-work drinks and coffee dates allowing you the flexibility to come along at a time that suits you.Most events are largely unstructured, allowing for lots of organic networking. The emphasis is on: - nuturing your existing connections - m aking new connections - celebrating our wins, and - supporting each other to grow; personally, in business and also grow the Moreton Bay region.
