Many people are shy to attend the first few events, however after showing up and interacting a couple times, you really find value in meeting people in your field. I have been so lucky to meet several important contacts while I work out of cafes & fly (people who happen to be sitting next to me), and more - but actually surrounding yourself with people specifically in your field allows you to speak the same language and learn more about the latest news in your industry while meeting new people. You never know what can happen or who you will meet that can potentially help you in the future! Danielle – I completely agree with you.
