Manhattan Networking Guide

a Networking Events Finder Publication

Market Globally – Connect Locally™

We LOVE networking…we LOVE the diversity offered by different networking groups. NEF was designed to give you FREE access to find and showcase ALL of the local groups, clubs & associations and let you choose the one(s) that best fit your needs. You should NEVER have to pay to find networking events or promote your own event. We do not host our own events…we are an “equal opportunity”, one-stop-shopping for all things Networking: Events, Tips, Training, Gossip (well not really gossip…just news about “The Networking Scene”), as well as the local Networking Mover’s & Shakers.

But that is just the beginning. NEF is a resource built by local networkers for local networkers. Join us in the fun and share in the exposure that this type of new venture will generate.

Here are some features we have in store for you.

• Enhanced calendar listings & function.
  • Filtering of different classifications, i.e. Women’s Organizations Professional/Industry Associations, Referral groups, etc.
• Fun polls & surveys rating your favorite Chamber, favorite women’s group, best business seminar, sales training , etc. Nominate someone as Networker of the Month!
• Interactive discussion boards that serve more than one function: To disseminate information; to show off your expertise to your audience (a global one); and to provide hot links & keywords that will not only bring more traffic to your own site, but will bring more traffic to NEF where you are being showcased by your article/contribution.
• RSS feeds that can be displayed on YOUR website & blog! Now YOU can offer your readers a very valuable resource for local networking. Plus they will be picked up as valuable content by bloggers & newsletter publishers add to your exposure.
• After launching in San Diego, we will expand into other markets where a local moderator will act as host for NEF. Their moderator status will position them as the local expert.
