and the opinions were split!

One user said:
That’s not what there for honestly, your suppose to go and network with ppl and promote your self …. I really don’t think y’all understand the importance of that

and another said the exact opposite:
They don’t.. and they don’t even be business owners they just be chatting

see some of the opinions below:

To the women that still attend these: I hope it can benefit you in some way. I can see this being beneficial from a business and marketing standpoint like if you have an opportunity to sell your products or services, but aside from that, keep ya money, there are other resources.

That $175 more about the connections you gone make.

You literally have no idea who you might rub elbows with. That 1 connection could change your life.

Networking will take you places your degrees won’t. That’s how I’ve gotten my last 2 jobs lol

Networking. Events are for networking. Making connections.

and

They are for networking but like w everything else…. They have become very scammy. I’d only pay this much for panels / speakers that I KNOW are worth the experience. Some ppl be having these $200 brunches and have Sheila from down the block as main speaker w no experience.

We think the opinions are split because some of these events do in fact have a bad reputation and if you aren’t careful you will waste your time and money.

However, if you do the research and the room has people in it you *need* to meet, it might be worth the cost.

I have paid $100 bucks to be in a room and made six grand with someone I met simply by chance.

The point is, that you never know what can or will happen in the future.
