NETWORKING FOSTERS LONG-TERM PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS FOR ATTENDEES AND VENDORS
The 20-minute discussions between Attendees and Vendors – plus the informal networking that takes place during breaks and meals – generate a hum that reverberates throughout the ballroom.
At ProConnect Events, you can feel the excitement in the air. Attendees and Vendors say they like the the compressed information exchange – "a very good use of my time," is the most common response from Attendees and Vendors alike.
ATTENDEES SHARE INFORMATION, IDEAS, AND SOLUTIONS AT PROCONNECT ROUNDTABLES
Attendee Roundtables are a new feature for ProConnect events. Here, Attendees meet in groups of 12-15 for a one-hour moderated discusson of pre-selected agenda items – e.g., "Supply Chain Problems – and Solutions" – and offer each other technical advice and Post-event surveys show that the Attendee Roundtables have become one of the most popular features of ProConnect events, along with other networking opportunities.

If there’s no ‘STEM crisis,’ why build more STEM schools?
Before you get your shorts in a knot, I have nothing against science, technology, engineering, or even mathematics; to the contrary, I love all four “STEM” disciplines (I’m lying about the math).
